How to Compress Images Online
Large images slow down websites, emails, and social media uploads. This free image compressor reduces file size directly in your browser โ no upload to any server, no account required, no watermark added.
- Upload your image: Click the box above or drag and drop a JPG, PNG, or WebP file.
- Choose your format: Keep the original format or convert to JPEG (smallest), PNG (lossless), or WebP (best modern format).
- Adjust quality: Lower quality = smaller file. Around 70-85% is usually the sweet spot for photos.
- Resize if needed: Reduce the max width to shrink the image for web use or social media.
- Download: Preview the result, then save the compressed image.
JPEG vs PNG vs WebP โ Which Should You Choose?
- JPEG: Best for photographs and complex images. Offers the smallest file sizes with lossy compression. Not ideal for images with transparent backgrounds.
- PNG: Best for screenshots, graphics, logos, and images needing transparency. Compression is lossless, so files are larger but quality is preserved.
- WebP: The modern choice. Smaller than JPEG and PNG in most cases while maintaining good quality. Supported by all major browsers and many social platforms.
