Image Compressor

Compress and optimize JPG, PNG, and WebP images in your browser using the same encoders desktop optimization tools use. Reduce image file size without visible quality loss — your files never leave your device.

Settings

Keeps each file in its original format.

75

Lower = smaller files. 75 is a good default for JPEG and WebP.

All compression happens locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Benefits

The case for optimizing every image

Smaller images aren't just nice to have — image optimization is a measurable lift across page speed, SEO rankings, and spend.

Pages load faster

Images are usually 50–70% of total page weight. Halving image size often halves load time on real-world connections, especially on mobile.

Better Core Web Vitals

Largest Contentful Paint is almost always an image. Compressing your hero shaves seconds off LCP — a direct Google ranking signal since 2021.

Higher search rankings

Page speed feeds directly into Google’s ranking algorithms. Fast-loading pages outrank slow competitors on identical content.

Lower bounce rate

Google found that bounce probability rises 32% when load time goes from 1s to 3s, and 90% from 1s to 5s. Smaller images keep visitors on the page.

More conversions

Walmart found a 2% conversion lift for every 1s of load-time improvement. Amazon estimates each 100 ms of latency costs them 1% in sales.

Lower bandwidth costs

If you serve images from a CDN or cloud bucket, every megabyte costs money. A 70% reduction in image size means a 70% reduction in egress bills.

Mobile-friendly by default

Most of your traffic is on cellular. Compressed images load reliably on 3G/4G in places where uncompressed assets time out and fail.

Greener emails and ads

Email clients and ad networks impose strict size limits. Compressing keeps creatives under thresholds without sacrificing visual fidelity.

Smaller carbon footprint

Every byte transferred runs through routers, servers, and screens that consume energy. Lighter pages are measurably greener — at scale, by a lot.

Understand

How this compressor works

Most online image optimizers upload your file to a server, run a CLI tool like cjpeg, cwebp, or oxipng, and send the result back. We run those exact same encoders — compiled to WebAssembly — directly inside your browser tab. The optimized output is bit-for-bit identical to what the desktop versions produce at the same settings, whether you're compressing photos for the web, shrinking screenshots for docs, or reducing image file sizes for email.

Because nothing is uploaded, your photos, screenshots, and product shots stay private. There's no rate limit, no waiting in a server queue, and no cookie banner asking you to accept terms before you can optimize a single file. And if an image is already fully optimized, we tell you and keep the original — you'll never download a file that's bigger than the one you dropped in.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is this image compressor free?

Yes — completely free, with no signup, no watermarks, and no daily limits. All compression runs in your browser, so there's no server cost for us to recoup.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. The encoders (MozJPEG, libwebp, OxiPNG) are compiled to WebAssembly and run locally in your browser tab. Your files never leave your device.

How much smaller will my images get?

Photos saved as JPEG or WebP typically shrink 50–80% at the default quality of 75 with no visible difference. PNG optimization is lossless, so savings depend on how well the source was optimized — typically 10–40%.

What image formats are supported?

JPG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF as input, up to 25 MB per file. You can keep the original format or convert between JPEG, WebP, and PNG.

Can the compressed file ever be bigger than the original?

No. If an image is already fully optimized, the tool keeps your original file and labels it “Already optimized” — the output is never larger than the input.

Which image format is best for the web?

WebP usually gives the smallest files with broad browser support. Use JPEG for maximum compatibility with photos, and PNG when you need lossless quality for graphics, screenshots, or images with sharp text.
