Compress Images Without Uploading Them

This image compressor shrinks JPG, PNG, and WebP files right in your browser using the Canvas API. Lower the quality, convert to a more efficient format like WebP, or resize the image — and watch the file size drop in real time with a live before/after comparison.

Quality, Format, and Resize in One Place

Photos exported from phones and cameras are often several megabytes. Converting to WebP at 80% quality and capping the longest edge routinely cuts 70–90% of the size while looking identical on screen — perfect for faster-loading websites and smaller email attachments.

Completely Private

Your images are never uploaded to a server. All compression happens locally, so even sensitive or unreleased images stay entirely on your device.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the image compressor work?

Your image is drawn onto an HTML canvas and re-encoded at the quality and dimensions you choose. Lowering quality and converting to WebP or JPEG dramatically reduces file size. Everything happens in your browser.

Which format should I choose?

WebP gives the best compression for the web and is supported by all modern browsers. JPEG is a safe choice for photos and universal compatibility. PNG is lossless — best for graphics with sharp edges or transparency, but larger.

Does compressing reduce image quality?

JPEG and WebP are lossy, so lower quality settings trade some visual fidelity for smaller size. The live preview and size readout let you find the sweet spot. PNG stays lossless regardless of the quality slider.

Can I resize while compressing?

Yes. Set a maximum width or height and the image is scaled down proportionally before encoding — often the single biggest way to cut file size.

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. All processing is done locally with the Canvas API. Your photos never leave your device.
