Free Image Compressor

This free online image compressor reduces the file size of your JPG, PNG and WebP images without a noticeable drop in quality. Upload an image, adjust the quality, and download a smaller version — perfect for faster websites, email attachments and saving storage. It’s free and 100% private: your images are compressed right in your browser and never uploaded.

How to compress an image

  1. Upload an image by dragging it in or clicking to choose a file.
  2. Drag the quality slider — lower quality means a smaller file.
  3. Pick an output format (JPEG and WebP compress best; WebP usually wins).
  4. Optionally set a max width to shrink large images further.
  5. Click Download compressed to save the smaller image.

How does image compression work?

Most photos are saved with more detail than the eye can see. Lossy formats like JPEG and WebP throw away some of that hidden detail to make the file dramatically smaller. Lowering the quality setting removes more, shrinking the file at the cost of some sharpness. WebP typically produces files 25–35% smaller than JPEG at the same visual quality, which is why it’s great for the web. Resizing the image to a smaller width reduces the file size even more, since fewer pixels means less data.

Compressing images is one of the easiest ways to speed up a website — large images are the most common cause of slow pages. Smaller images load faster, use less bandwidth and improve your Core Web Vitals, which can help your SEO.

Frequently asked questions

Is this image compressor free and private?
Yes. It’s completely free with no sign-up, and your images are compressed entirely in your browser using the HTML canvas. They are never uploaded to any server.
Which format should I choose?
For photos, WebP usually gives the smallest file at the same quality, with JPEG a close second. Use PNG only when you need lossless quality or transparency — it doesn’t compress photos as well.
Will compressing reduce image quality?
Lossy compression removes some detail, but at quality settings around 70–85% the difference is usually invisible while the file is much smaller. Compare the preview and pick the lowest quality that still looks good.
Does it work on PNG images?
Yes. PNG is lossless, so the quality slider has little effect, but converting a PNG photo to JPEG or WebP can shrink it a lot. For graphics with sharp edges or transparency, keep PNG.
Is there a file size limit?
There’s no fixed limit, but very large images use more of your device’s memory. Typical photos compress instantly; extremely large files may take a moment.
