Compress Images Online — No Upload, No Account Required

Frequently Asked Questions

What quality level does the compressor use?

JPEG and WebP images are re-encoded at about 82% quality, which is a balance chosen to maximize size savings while staying visually indistinguishable from the original for typical photos. PNG files are re-saved losslessly, so their pixels are unchanged. There is no manual quality slider on this tool; if you need fine control over the JPEG quality, the dedicated JPG-to-WebP converter and others expose more options for specific formats.

Which file formats can I compress?

JPEG, PNG, and WebP. The output format matches the input: a JPEG stays a JPEG, a WebP stays a WebP, and a PNG stays a PNG. If your goal is the smallest possible file, JPEG and WebP compress far more aggressively than PNG because they are lossy formats designed for photographic content.

Will compression visibly degrade my image?

For most photographs the 82% quality output is hard to tell apart from the original on a screen. Degradation becomes noticeable mainly when you zoom in, when an image has large flat areas or sharp text, or when you compress a file that was already heavily compressed before. Keep your original and compare the two if the image is important.

Why is my PNG barely getting smaller?

PNG is a lossless format, so this tool only re-saves it without throwing away detail — there is no quality knob to turn down. Photographs stored as PNG are usually very large for this reason. If the image is a photo rather than a logo or screenshot, convert it to JPEG or WebP first and you will see a dramatic size drop.

Is there a limit on image size or resolution?

There is no hard file-size limit, but images larger than 4096 pixels on their longest side are automatically scaled down to that maximum before encoding. 4096 pixels is ample for any display and for standard printing, and the downscaling itself contributes to the size reduction.

Can I compress several images at once?

This tool processes one image at a time: drop a file, review the compressed result and its new size, then download. For a batch, repeat the process for each image. Each run is independent and nothing is retained between runs.

Does compressing remove EXIF metadata like GPS location?

Because the image is redrawn onto a fresh canvas and re-encoded, the output generally does not carry over the original EXIF block, including camera model, timestamps, and GPS coordinates. If stripping metadata is your specific goal, use the dedicated EXIF remover, which is built for that purpose.

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. The image is read into your browser's memory, redrawn on a canvas, and re-encoded entirely on your device. Nothing is sent to a server, so even sensitive or personal photos never leave your machine.
