Compress images without uploading them
Image Compressor reduces file size directly in your browser. You can compress JPG images, optimize PNG files, convert suitable assets to WebP, and resize files before export without sending them to a server.
It is built for practical everyday tasks such as preparing website assets, shrinking screenshots for email, or making product images lighter before upload.
Privacy note: All image processing happens locally in your browser. No file data is uploaded, stored, or inspected remotely.
How to use the tool
- Upload one or more JPG, PNG, or WebP files.
- Choose a preset such as Balanced or Smallest file.
- Open advanced settings if you want a specific output format or resize limit.
- Click Compress images.
- Review the results and download individual files or everything at once.
What this tool is good for
- Reduce image size before website or CMS upload.
- Prepare lighter attachments for email, chat, or support tickets.
- Convert oversized PNG or JPG assets into more web-friendly formats.
- Resize large photos before sharing them with clients or teammates.
Compression expectations
JPEG and WebP files usually show the clearest size reduction. PNG behaves differently because lossless optimization is more conservative than aggressive lossy compression.
- Use JPEG or WebP when smaller output size matters most.
- Keep PNG when transparency is important.
- Resize dimensions before export if you need a larger file size drop.
- Expect photo-style images to compress more than flat graphics or icons.
Things to know before exporting
- JPEG does not preserve transparency, so transparent areas are flattened.
- PNG optimization may help, but the result is often less dramatic than JPEG or WebP compression.
- Using the same settings for a batch keeps the workflow simple, but results still vary per file.
- Very large images can take longer because everything runs locally in your browser.
FAQ
Are my images uploaded?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser.
Can I compress multiple images at once?
Yes. You can add multiple files to the queue and process them in one run.
Does JPEG keep transparency?
No. Transparent areas are flattened when you export to JPEG.
Is PNG always much smaller after optimization?
No. PNG optimization can help, but it is usually less dramatic than JPEG or WebP compression.
