Image Compressor

Reduce image file size without losing visible quality.

Adjust the quality slider to find the right balance between file size and visual fidelity. Supports JPG, PNG, and WebP.

High-resolution photos are often far larger than necessary for web display. A DSLR photo might be 8MB raw but look identical at 400KB when compressed intelligently. Smaller images load faster, use less bandwidth, and improve your page's Core Web Vitals score.

Our compressor uses Sharp's quality encoding for JPG and WebP, giving you direct control over the compression level through the quality slider. The quality parameter directly controls the encoding level — every point lower than 100 trades a tiny bit of detail for meaningful file size reduction.

Compression is lossy for JPG and WebP. Always keep a copy of your original if you may need to compress at a different quality level later, since re-compressing an already-compressed image degrades quality further.

How to use Image Compressor

Step 1: Upload your JPG, PNG, or WebP by dragging it in or clicking to browse.
Step 2: Adjust the quality slider — 70 is a good starting point. Lower values produce smaller files; higher values retain more detail. The sweet spot for web images is 60–80.
Step 3: Click "Convert now" and download your compressed image.

Frequently Asked Questions

What quality level should I use?

70% is a good starting point — it cuts file size significantly while remaining sharp. Go lower for thumbnails, higher for print.

Does compression change the file format?

No. JPG stays JPG, PNG stays PNG, and WebP stays WebP.
