About this Image Compressor

Reduce the file size of your JPG, PNG, and WebP images directly in your browser. No files are uploaded to any server — everything is processed locally using the HTML5 Canvas API, keeping your images completely private.

How it works

The tool draws your image onto an HTML canvas and re-exports it at your chosen quality level. For JPG and WebP images, the quality slider directly controls compression. For PNG images, the tool converts to a more efficient format to achieve size reduction.

Tips for best results

  • 80–85% quality is the sweet spot — usually indistinguishable from the original but significantly smaller
  • 60–70% gives the most aggressive compression — noticeable quality loss but very small files
  • Photos (JPG) compress much better than graphics/logos (PNG)
  • You can batch-compress up to 20 images at once

Privacy

Your images never leave your device. All processing happens inside your browser — nothing is uploaded, stored, or transmitted anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does compressing an image reduce its quality? +

It depends on the compression type. Lossy compression (used for JPG) removes some image data permanently, which can reduce quality slightly. Lossless compression (used for PNG) reduces file size without losing any image data. Modern algorithms minimise visible quality loss even with significant size reduction.

What is the difference between JPG and PNG compression? +

JPG uses lossy compression, making it ideal for photos where minor quality loss is acceptable in exchange for much smaller file sizes. PNG uses lossless compression, making it better for graphics, logos, and screenshots with text. JPG typically achieves 5-10x smaller file sizes than PNG for photos.

How small can I compress an image without losing quality? +

For JPG images, a quality setting of 75-85% typically produces files that are visually indistinguishable from the original while being 60-80% smaller. Below 60% quality you may start to see compression artifacts. For web use, aim for images under 200 KB.

Why should I compress images for my website? +

Large images are the biggest cause of slow website loading. Google's PageSpeed Insights and Core Web Vitals scores are heavily influenced by image loading speed. Faster pages rank higher in search results, have lower bounce rates, and provide a better user experience on mobile.

Does this tool upload my images to a server? +

No. This image compressor runs entirely in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to any server. All compression happens locally on your device using JavaScript's Canvas API, so your photos remain completely private.
