Image Compressor

Reduce JPG, PNG, or WebP size with a quality you control.

Use the Image Compressor in three steps

01

Choose an image

Select a JPG, PNG, or WebP file.

02

Set quality

Move the slider until it matches your size and clarity needs.

03

Compress and download

Create the WebP result and save it to your device.

Choosing a sensible quality

A setting around 75–85% is a practical starting point for photos. Logos, screenshots, and text-heavy graphics may need a higher setting to keep edges crisp.

Why the result uses WebP

WebP is widely supported by current browsers and is designed for efficient web delivery. If your workflow requires the original format, keep the source image as your master copy.

Image Compressor FAQ

Can this compressor handle transparent PNG files?

The current compressor places images on a white background before creating the WebP result.

Does a lower quality number always mean a smaller file?

Usually, but image dimensions and visual complexity also affect the final size.

Why is the compressed image downloaded as WebP?

WebP usually provides smaller web-ready files than JPG or PNG at comparable visual quality and is supported by current major browsers.

Does compression change image dimensions?

No. This tool keeps the original pixel width and height. Use the Image Resizer when you also need different dimensions.

What quality should I use for screenshots?

Screenshots with small text often need 85–95% quality. Photographs usually tolerate a lower setting better than interface screenshots.

Why can a compressed image occasionally be larger?

A small or already optimized source may be more efficient in its original format than a newly encoded WebP. Compare the displayed sizes before replacing your original.
