What is Image Compressor?

This image compressor re-encodes your photo at a lower internal quality setting to reduce its byte size, without changing how big it looks on screen. Use it to compress an image for email attachment limits, shrink a photo for faster website loading, or reduce a picture's file size before uploading it somewhere with a size cap — all without touching its pixel dimensions.

How to use Image Compressor

  1. 1

    Choose or drag in a JPG, PNG, or WebP file (up to 10 MB) to compress.

  2. 2

    Pick a compression strength — Best quality, Recommended, or Smaller file — or drag the slider to fine-tune it.

  3. 3

    Optionally turn on "Resize before compressing" under Advanced settings if you also want smaller dimensions.

  4. 4

    Click Process & download and compare the original and new file size before saving.

Common questions

Does compressing reduce image quality?

Some, depending on the strength you choose — higher quality keeps more visual detail at a larger file size, lower quality shrinks the file further with a more visible trade-off.

Can I also resize while compressing?

Yes — turn on "Resize before compressing" under Advanced settings if you also want smaller pixel dimensions, not just a smaller file size.

How much can I compress an image without visible quality loss?

The Recommended setting is tuned to stay visually close to the original for most photos — try that first, then move toward Smaller file only if you specifically need a lower file size, e.g. for an email or form attachment limit.

What is the best free way to compress an image online?

A tool that shows you the exact before/after file size and lets you pick the quality level yourself — like this one — gives more control than a fixed-preset compressor and never requires an account or software install.
