Use Cases
Compress Images for Faster Website Loading
Large images are the leading cause of slow page load times and poor Core Web Vitals scores. Reducing JPG and PNG file sizes — even by 50–70% — dramatically improves Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) and reduces bandwidth costs for web servers and CDNs.
Reduce PNG File Size for Email Attachments
Many email clients reject attachments over 25 MB, and large inline images slow newsletters down. Compressing images before attaching them ensures deliverability and a smooth experience for recipients across all email clients.
Shrink Images for Social Media Uploads
Platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn re-compress uploaded images, often degrading quality. Pre-compressing at a controlled quality level gives you more control over how your visuals look after the platform applies its own processing.
Optimize Product Photos for E-commerce
Product pages with dozens of high-resolution images can weigh several megabytes. Compressing each photo to WebP or JPG at 80–85% quality reduces page weight substantially without any visible quality loss in product detail shots.
Prepare Images for Google Docs or Slides Presentations
Google Docs and Slides have file size limits. Compressing images before inserting them keeps presentation files manageable and prevents slow loading when sharing links with collaborators.
FAQ's
No. All compression happens entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your images never leave your device and are never stored or transmitted to any server. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool will still work.
For most web images, 70–85% is the sweet spot — visually indistinguishable from the original but significantly smaller. For thumbnails or social previews, 60–70% is often acceptable. For print or high-fidelity use, stay at 90%+.
No. PNG is a lossless format, so the quality slider has limited effect on PNG output size. To significantly reduce PNG file size, convert to WebP (which supports transparency) or to JPG if transparency is not needed.
It depends on the image content and quality setting. Photographs typically compress 40–75% at quality 80. Images with flat colours or text (better suited to PNG) compress less. The stats bar shows exact savings in KB or MB and as a percentage.
Currently this tool processes one image at a time. Click "New Image" after each download to compress the next file. Batch compression is planned for a future update.
WebP uses a more advanced compression algorithm than JPEG and produces files that are typically 25–35% smaller at the same visual quality. It also supports transparency (unlike JPEG) and is supported by all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.
No. This tool only adjusts the quality/encoding of the image — the pixel dimensions remain identical. To resize an image, use the Image Resizer tool.
You can upload JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and BMP files. The output can be saved as JPG, PNG, or WebP regardless of the input format, making this tool useful for format conversion as well as compression.
