About Image Compressor

Image Compressor reduces an image's file size by re-encoding it as a JPEG at an adjustable quality level, entirely in your browser using the canvas element — your image is never uploaded to a server. Note that the output is always converted to JPEG, even if you upload a PNG or other format.

How to use Image Compressor

  1. 1Click the upload area and select an image from your device.
  2. 2Adjust the quality slider (10–100%) to set the compression level.
  3. 3Click 'Compress' to process the image.
  4. 4Click the download button to save your compressed JPG file.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Image Compressor really free to use?

Yes, it's completely free with no registration required.

What image formats does Image Compressor support?

It accepts common formats your browser can open, such as JPG, PNG, and WebP, for upload. The output is always a JPG file.

Will compression affect image quality?

Yes — lowering the quality slider reduces file size but also introduces JPEG compression artifacts. Higher settings preserve more quality at a larger file size.

Can I compress multiple images at once?

No, only one image at a time — there's no batch upload or ZIP download.

Tips & Tricks

  • If you need to keep transparency, don't use this tool — JPEG output doesn't support transparent backgrounds.
  • Start around 70-80% quality and adjust based on the result to find your ideal balance of size and clarity.
  • Compress images one at a time and download each before moving to the next.
  • Keep your original file as a backup in case you need a higher-quality version later.
