About this tool
What quality should you use?
| Quality | Typical result | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 85–90 | Almost no visible difference | Portfolios, photos you plan to edit |
| 75–80 | A good balance of file size and sharpness | Websites, online stores, email |
| 60–70 | Much smaller file; fine details may look less sharp | Forms with a KB limit, messaging |
| Below 50 | Visible blocks and blur in skies and gradients | Only when a size limit requires it |
If the compressed file is larger than the original and the format and dimensions haven't changed, the tool keeps the original so you don't lose anything.
JPG, PNG, or WEBP?
- Photos: JPG or WEBP. WEBP usually delivers the same visual quality in a smaller file and is supported by modern browsers and most platforms.
- PNG: The quality setting won't reduce PNG files because PNG is a lossless format. To make a PNG smaller, convert it to WEBP (which preserves transparency) or use the PNG compressor, which reduces the number of colors.
- Screenshots and images with text: Avoid low JPG quality, which can create artifacts around letters. WEBP or PNG will look sharper.
A privacy bonus
When the new file is created, the original photo's EXIF metadata—such as the phone model, date, and sometimes GPS location—isn't copied. If you only want to remove this data without recompressing the image, use remove image metadata.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between compressing and resizing?
Compressing reduces file size while keeping the same dimensions; resizing changes the width and height. For the smallest possible file, use both with the maximum width field.
Can I make a photo smaller than 100 KB?
In most cases, yes. Set the quality to 60–75 and the maximum width to 1280 px.
How can I make a photo smaller than 1 MB?
For phone photos, a quality setting of 80 and a maximum width of 2000 px usually do the trick. If the file is still too large, lower the width to 1600 px before reducing the quality further.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser: your file is read and processed on your device, and not a single byte is sent over the internet. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads.
Is it really free? Is there a daily limit?
It's free with no daily limits. Processing happens on your device, so there's no per-use cost and no need to limit you.
Does it work on phones?
Yes. The site works in any modern browser on Android, iPhone, Windows, Mac, and Linux—no installation needed.
