Image Compressor

Worked example

Example: a 2.4 MB phone photo at 80% quality WebP might drop to about 420 KB with little visible loss on a laptop screen.

When to use this

• Shrinking hero images before publishing a blog post.
• Hitting CMS or email attachment size limits.
• Converting heavy PNG UI shots to smaller JPEG or WebP.
• Batch-tuning quality before a static site deploy.

Common examples

• 2.8 MB hero JPG at 80% quality WebP → often under 500 KB for blog headers.
• 4 MB product PNG → JPEG export at 85% for catalog listings when transparency is not needed.
• Batch of blog images resized to 1200 px wide then compressed → faster LCP on static sites.
• 1.8 MB team photo → WebP at Balanced for about 200 KB on careers page.
• Ecommerce PNG with transparency → compress without converting to JPEG when alpha matters.

Common mistakes

• Compressing already tiny images and expecting large savings.
• Using too low quality on text-heavy screenshots.
• Flattening transparency when converting PNG to JPEG unintentionally.
• Uploading originals without checking dimensions first.

How it works

Upload a JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF image, choose a compression level and output format, then compress. The tool may resize very large images and tries multiple quality settings (and WebP plus JPEG in Auto mode) to find a smaller file. Processing runs on your device—files are not uploaded or stored.

Limitations

Compression is lossy for JPEG output. Very small images or transparent PNGs may not shrink much without visible quality loss.

Privacy and file handling

Your image stays on your device and is not uploaded.
