How it works

Compress in three steps

1

Add your image

Drag a photo onto the box or click to browse. It loads instantly — no upload.

2

Set the quality

Slide the quality control and watch the live estimate. Pick JPG for the smallest file or WebP to keep transparency.

3

Download

Export the compressed image and see exactly how much you saved. Compress as many as you like, free.

Why use it

Smaller files, sharp results

Live size estimate

See roughly how big the file will be as you move the quality slider — no guessing.

JPG or WebP

JPG gives the smallest photos; WebP is smaller than JPG at the same quality and keeps transparency.

Quality you control

From near-lossless down to heavily compressed — you decide the trade-off.

100% private

Compression happens on your device with a canvas — your image is never uploaded.

Good to know

How image compression works

Compression re-encodes your photo, discarding detail your eye is least likely to notice to make the file dramatically smaller. This tool does it locally with a canvas, so nothing is uploaded and the result is instant.

Which quality should I use?

Around 70–80 is the sweet spot for most photos — a big size drop with no visible loss. Go higher for hero images where detail matters, lower when file size is all that counts.

JPG vs WebP

JPG is universally supported and great for photographs. WebP usually produces a smaller file at the same quality and can keep transparency — an easy win if your audience uses modern browsers.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the image compressor free?
Yes — completely free, no account, no limits and no watermarks. Part of Creator Studio.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Compression happens locally in your browser, so your image never touches a server.
How much smaller will my image get?
It depends on the photo and quality. The live estimate shows it before you export — savings of 60–90% are common from a large original.
Will it reduce the dimensions too?
No — compression keeps the pixel dimensions and lowers the file size. Use the Resize tool to change dimensions.
What formats can I export?
JPG or WebP — or Auto to keep a sensible default for your image.
