Image Compressor
Reduce image file size for faster uploads and lighter pages—tune quality until the preview still looks right.
Drop images here
or click to browse — JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, AVIF, HEIC
Large camera exports stall email gateways and slow product pages. This general image compressor lets you upload a photo or graphic, choose a quality target, and download a smaller file without installing desktop editors.
Compression always trades bytes for fidelity. Faces, fine text, and gradients show artifacts first—preview zoomed regions before you replace a master file. Keep originals; compressed outputs are derivatives.
When you already know the format (JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, AVIF), the format-specific compress pages expose tighter defaults. Start here for mixed libraries or unknown types.
How to use
- Upload an image — Drop a file or browse to select it. Prefer a copy of the original so you can revert.
- Set quality or size goals — Lower quality for aggressive savings; raise it when text or skin tones look muddy.
- Preview the result — Compare edges and color against the source. Zoom on logos and faces especially.
- Download the compressed file — Save when the balance looks acceptable. Rename clearly so you do not overwrite masters.
- Iterate if needed — Re-run with a milder setting if artifacts appear, or a stronger one if the file is still too heavy.
Use cases
- Web performance — Shrink hero and gallery images so pages load faster on mobile networks.
- Email and chat — Fit photos under attachment limits without opening a heavy editor.
- Marketplace listings — Reduce product shots while keeping enough detail for buyers.
Tips
- Never compress the only copy of a RAW or archival original.
- Screenshots with UI text often need higher quality than casual phone snapshots.
- Convert to WebP or AVIF when the destination supports modern formats for extra savings.
- If one format keeps failing, try the dedicated compress-jpg or compress-png tools.
FAQ
Common web formats such as JPEG, PNG, WebP, and others supported by the uploader. See format-specific pages for tailored flows.
Processing is designed to stay in the browser whenever possible so files need not leave your device.
No. Smaller files discard some detail. Always preview before publishing.
This page is optimized for interactive single-file (or small-set) work. Large pipelines may need desktop tooling.
Use the dedicated GIF compressor for animations; still compressors may flatten frames.
