Image Compressor

Shrink images before you upload, nothing leaves your tab

Load a photo or graphic, pick a quality and format, optionally cap the width, and the tool re-encodes it on canvas right on this page - no library, no server, no upload. Honest scope: re-encoding JPEG, WebP and PNG is how real compressors work, so photo detail follows the quality you choose, and animation or metadata that does not fit the output format is dropped.

Result summary
Read this honestly: nothing can make an already-compressed photo smaller without re-encoding it, so the tool draws the image onto a canvas and writes it out again at your chosen quality - that is exactly what desktop compressors do. JPEG and WebP quality 70 to 85% suits most photos; WebP is usually smaller than JPEG at the same quality; PNG is lossless, so its size only responds to the width cap, not the quality slider. Capping the width is the biggest size lever. Re-encoding drops EXIF metadata (including location tags), and a GIF becomes a single still frame. SVG cannot be re-encoded here - keep vectors as vectors. Everything runs in this tab: no upload, no server copy, no storage.
