About the Compress Image
Large photos slow down websites, fill up phone storage, and bounce out of email attachments. Compress Image shrinks JPG, PNG, and WEBP files right in your browser — no upload, no signup, no waiting on a server. See our full guide to compressing images without losing quality for tips on getting the best results.

- Faster-loading web pages and lighter email attachments
- Your image never leaves your device — nothing is uploaded anywhere
- No account, no watermark, no daily limits
How much can you save?
Photos from modern phones are often 3 to 8 MB. At a quality setting around 70 to 80, JPG files typically shrink dramatically with little visible difference at normal viewing size. The tool shows the exact before and after sizes, so you can lower the quality until you reach the limit you need and stop before artefacts appear. Images wider than 2,000 pixels are resized to keep processing fast, which is plenty for web pages and email.
Choosing a setting
- Quality 80 to 90: for photos you want to keep sharp, such as portfolios and product pictures.
- Quality 60 to 75: a good balance for blog images, email attachments and messaging.
- Below 60: only for thumbnails or when a strict size limit applies; look for blocky patches in skies and skin.
Remember that screenshots, logos and text-heavy graphics compress better as PNG or WEBP than as JPG.
Related steps and why it matters
Smaller images load faster, which helps visitors and search rankings, and they fit upload limits on job portals, marketplaces and forms. If a site rejects your file type, convert it first with the Image Format Converter; our comparison of JPG vs PNG vs WebP explains which format to choose. Crop unwanted areas with Image Crop before compressing, since removing pixels is the most effective saving of all. For documents, use PDF Compress.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will compressing reduce image quality?
Some quality loss is inherent to compression, but the live before/after preview lets you find the point where file size drops significantly with no visible difference.
Does this upload my photos anywhere?
No — compression happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your image is never transmitted to a server.
