About Image Compressor
Reduce the file size of JPG, PNG, WEBP and GIF images so web pages load faster and attachments fit size limits. Move the quality slider to balance size and sharpness, and optionally set a maximum width to shrink very large photos. Compress up to 20 images at once.
How the quality slider works
The slider sets how much detail is kept, from 10 (smallest) to 95 (best quality). The default of 70 is a good balance for photos: most people cannot see a difference on a phone or laptop screen, and the file is usually a fraction of the original size.
- 80 to 95 for photos you will print, product photos for a shop, or images with fine detail such as text in a screenshot.
- 60 to 75 for websites, blog posts, email and social media.
- Below 50 only when a strict size limit matters more than looks; edges and skies start to show blocky patches.
Use "Max width" for the biggest savings
Photos from modern phones are often 4,000 pixels wide or more, far bigger than most screens. Setting a maximum width shrinks the picture itself, which saves much more than quality alone. Good starting points: 1920 for full-screen photos and presentations, 1200 for blog and website images, and 800 for email, forms and online listings. Images that are already narrower than the number you enter are left at their size. If you only need to resize, Resize Image gives you more control.
What happens to each format
- JPG and WEBP are saved again at the quality you choose. These are the best formats for photos.
- PNG is shrunk by reducing the number of colours, which works very well for screenshots, logos and graphics, and keeps transparent backgrounds. For photos saved as PNG, converting them with Image Converter to JPG or WEBP usually saves far more.
- HEIC, TIFF and BMP are saved as JPG, because JPG opens everywhere and is much smaller.
- GIF animations are made smaller by reducing colours; for more options use GIF Compressor.
Hidden photo data such as camera details and GPS location is removed during compression. That makes files smaller and keeps your location private when you share photos online. If a compressed image would end up bigger than the original, you get your original back instead.
Frequently asked questions
What quality setting should I use?
70 is a good starting point for photos. Go higher if you notice blurring, or lower if you need the smallest possible file.
Will it change my image's format?
No — JPGs stay JPG, PNGs stay PNG and WEBPs stay WEBP. Only formats that can't be compressed well, like BMP or HEIC, are saved as JPG.
What if the image is already small?
If we can't make a file smaller, you get your original back, so you never end up with a larger image.
Will my photo lose quality?
At the default quality of 70 the difference is very hard to see on a screen, while the file usually becomes several times smaller. If you plan to print the photo, set the slider to 85 or higher.
How do I make an image smaller than 100 KB?
Set a maximum width of 800 to 1200 pixels and keep the quality around 60 to 70. For most photos that gives a file well under 100 KB that still looks clean on screen.
