Uses Canvas API with lossy compression (for JPG/WEBP). Quality parameter 0-100 controls the compression level. Shows before/after file sizes and compression percentage. Maintains original dimensions. Batch mode: compress multiple images at once and download as a ZIP. Preserves EXIF data optionally (though stripping it saves more space).

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions
What image formats can I compress?
You can compress PNG, JPG, JPEG, and WebP images. Each format uses optimized compression algorithms to reduce file size while maintaining visual quality.
How much can I reduce file size?
Compression results vary depending on the image. For photos, you can typically reduce file size by 50-80% without noticeable quality loss. For PNG images with simple graphics, compression can be even more effective.
Can I compare original vs compressed images?
Yes! The tool shows side-by-side comparison with file size information. You can see a preview of the compressed image and toggle between original and compressed versions to verify quality.
What compression levels are available?
You can choose from preset compression levels (Low, Medium, High, Maximum) or adjust quality manually with a slider. Higher compression means smaller files but potentially lower quality.
Is my image data private?
Absolutely. All image compression happens locally in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy for your visual content.

About This Tool
Large images slow down your site. This compressor reduces file size while keeping quality acceptable—all in your browser, no uploads. Drag and drop, adjust the quality slider, see the file size savings in real-time. Usually can cut file size by 50-80% without noticeable quality loss. Great for optimizing images before uploading.
Technical Details
Algorithm
Compression works by quantizing colors and removing image details that aren't visually important. Lower quality = more aggressive compression = smaller file but more artifacts. The algorithm finds the balance between file size and perceived quality. For photos, JPG around 80% quality usually looks the same as 100% but at half the file size.
Privacy Commitment
