Two ways to use the image compressor
This image compressor gives you two ways to make a file smaller. Target size makes a file under a limit you choose, such as 50 KB, or any number in KB or MB. Use it when a form or website tells you the maximum file size.
Quality uses a slider from 10 to 100, set to 75 at the start. Use it when there is no limit and you simply want a lighter file that still looks good. Lower numbers give smaller files, with more visible loss.
You can also set a maximum width, such as 1920, 1280 or 800 pixels. Making a picture narrower is often the quickest way to cut its file size for websites and chats.

Which option should you choose?
Match the setting to the job:
- A form says "maximum 100 KB": use Target size, or open the 100 KB page from the table.
- You want lighter photos for your own website: try a quality between 70 and 80 and a maximum width of 1280 or 1920.
- You are sending photos over slow data: a maximum width of 1280 is plenty for most phone screens.
- You need a different format, such as WebP to JPG: use the image converter instead.
Tips
- Always keep your original photo. Compressing the same file again and again adds more loss each time.
- Every result is saved without hidden photo data, such as GPS location.
Frequently asked questions
How do I reduce the file size of an image?
Choose the image on this page. Then either pick a target size, like 200 KB, or move the quality slider. The smaller file is ready in a moment, and you can download it.
What quality setting should I use?
Start with the default of 75. It is a good balance for most photos. Go lower for smaller files, or higher if you see blocky patches in skies or skin.
Can I compress a PNG image?
Yes. PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF and BMP images all work. Screenshots and graphics saved as PNG are often large, so they can shrink a lot.
Is there a limit on how many images I can compress?
There is no daily limit. You can compress up to 20 images in one batch and start a new batch as often as you like.
Is it safe to compress private photos here?
Yes. Compression runs in your own browser, so your photos never leave your device.
