The image is drawn onto a browser canvas and exported using your selected format and quality settings.

3. Download Your File

What Is an Image Compressor?

An image compressor reduces the file size of an image by optimising how visual data is stored. Smaller image files load faster, use less storage space, and improve website performance while keeping the image looking visually similar.

This tool works entirely in your browser, allowing you to compress images instantly without installing software, creating an account, or uploading files anywhere.

Private by Design

Your images are processed locally using your browser. Files are never uploaded, stored, or transmitted to our servers, keeping your images private.

Adjustable Compression Quality

Control the balance between file size and image quality using the compression slider. Higher quality keeps more detail, while lower settings create smaller files.

JPEG, PNG & WebP Support

Choose the output format that suits your needs. JPEG works well for photographs, PNG supports transparency, and WebP provides modern web-friendly compression.
