Start with compression below, then use the related tools if the file needs a larger reduction.

Processing stays local. JPG, PNG, and WebP work best.
How to use this page
- Upload the image and create a compressed copy.
- Check whether the size is low enough for your target.
- Resize, crop, or convert the image if compression alone is not enough.
Practical tips
- Photos usually compress well as JPG or WebP.
- Images with text need a quality setting high enough to keep edges readable.
Common questions
Can I compress images without uploading them?
Yes. The tool runs in your browser session, so the image file does not need a server upload or an account.
Will this change my original file?
Download creates a new output file and keeps the original image unchanged.
What should I try if the result is still too large?
Use a smaller pixel size first, remove unused edges with crop when possible, and then run compression again on the prepared copy.
