Compress an Image Without Losing Visible Quality

Large photos slow down websites, blow past email attachment limits, and eat up storage fast. Compress a JPG or PNG here with a live preview and quality slider, so you see exactly what you're trading off before saving.

How it works under the hood

Your image loads onto a canvas, and adjusting the quality slider re-encodes it at that setting in real time. The before/after file sizes update live, so there's no guessing involved.

A typical use case

Uploading product photos to an online store, or attaching several photos to an email that keeps bouncing back for being too large. A smaller file uploads faster and loads faster for whoever opens it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What image formats can I compress?

JPG, PNG, and WebP are all supported.

Will compression change the image dimensions?

No, it only adjusts encoding quality. Use Image Resizer separately if you also want different dimensions.

Is there a visible quality loss?

At moderate settings, most images show little to no visible difference at normal viewing sizes. Very aggressive settings start showing artifacts, which the live preview lets you catch before downloading.

Does the image get uploaded anywhere?

No, everything happens locally using your browser's built-in image encoding.

What image formats are supported?

Most common formats can be uploaded; the compressed output is saved as an optimized JPG.

How much smaller will my file actually get?

It varies by image, but the tool shows you the exact before/after size and percentage saved before you download, so there's no guesswork.

Does compressing reduce the image dimensions too?

No, only the file size through quality re-encoding — the width and height stay the same. Use Image Resizer if you also want to change dimensions.
