Make an image smaller. JPEG, PNG and WebP all work, and the tool tells you exactly how much it saved on each one. Your file never leaves this page. Everything happens in your browser, and there is no upload endpoint to send it to — that is checked by a build gate that fails if any network code reaches a tool’s bundle.
How to do it
- Add your images — up to twenty at a time.
- Choose how hard to try. Balanced is right for most pictures.
- Compress, then download each result.
One thing worth knowing: making an image smaller also removes what the file was carrying about you — where the photo was taken, which camera and phone took it, and the editing history. Which way up the picture is, its colour profile and any copyright line are kept. This is a good default, but it should not be a surprise.
Questions
What if compressing makes the file bigger?
Then the tool keeps your original and says so. Some images are already as small as they usefully get, and handing back a larger file under the word “compressed” would be a lie about the one thing this page does.
How are PNGs made smaller?
Differently from JPEGs, because PNG has no quality setting to turn down — it is lossless by definition. Instead the image is stored using fewer distinct colours, which is a large saving on graphics and screenshots. If reducing the colours would visibly change the picture, the tool refuses and tells you why.
Will anyone notice the difference?
At the balanced setting, rarely, on a screen. Photographs with smooth gradients — a clear sky, a studio backdrop — are where the harder settings show first.
Can I compress twenty photos at once?
Yes, up to 100 MB in total. Each one is handled separately, so one unreadable file does not stop the rest.
