Compress images

Make JPG, PNG and WebP images smaller without visible quality loss.

or drop them here · paste with Ctrl+V

What it does

Make photos smaller for email, websites, and uploads while keeping them sharp.

How to use it

  1. Click “Choose images”, drop your JPG, PNG or WebP files onto the box, or paste with Ctrl+V (⌘+V on a Mac).
  2. Each image is compressed in your browser. The new size and how much you saved appear next to it.
  3. Download the images one by one, or all at once as a ZIP.

Common uses

  • Email attachments that bounce because they’re too large
  • Faster-loading images on a website or blog
  • Sharing many photos at once without hitting upload limits

Tips

  • For photos, JPG compresses far better than PNG. If you don’t need transparency, convert PNG photos to JPG first.
  • Compress the final version of an image: editing and re-saving a compressed JPG adds visible artifacts.
  • Need to hit an exact limit, such as 100 KB? Use the matching “Compress image to X KB” tool.

Questions

Does compression reduce quality?

Slightly, but at default settings the difference is rarely visible.

Will my PNG stay a PNG?

Yes. Files keep their format, so JPGs stay JPG and PNGs keep their transparency. PNGs shrink mostly by being scaled down, so photos usually get smaller as JPG.
