Why Compress Images?

Large image files can significantly slow down website loading speed, negatively impacting user experience and SEO rankings. Compressing images reduces their file size without drastically sacrificing quality. This leads to:

Faster website load times.
Improved user experience, especially on mobile devices.
Reduced bandwidth consumption and hosting costs.
Better SEO performance as page speed is a ranking factor.
Easier sharing via email or social platforms with size limits.

How Does It Work?

This tool uses client-side JavaScript and the browser’s Canvas API to compress images directly in your browser. Here’s the process:

Select your desired maximum target size (e.g., 100 KB).
Upload your image (JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP) using the button or drag-and-drop.
Our tool intelligently adjusts the compression quality and dimensions if necessary to meet the target size.
Preview both the original and compressed images along with their sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Yes, this online image compressor is completely free to use. There are no hidden charges or limitations on the number of images you can compress.

Absolutely. Your privacy is paramount. All image processing happens directly within your web browser (client-side). Your images are never uploaded to our or any third-party server, ensuring complete confidentiality.

You can upload and compress images in the following formats: JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg), PNG (.png), WebP (.webp), GIF (.gif), and BMP (.bmp). The tool will output the compressed image primarily as JPEG or PNG for optimal size reduction while trying to maintain transparency where applicable.

Some quality loss is inevitable when compressing images, especially lossy formats like JPEG or when targeting very small file sizes. Our tool tries to find the best balance between file size and visual quality. For very small target sizes (like 20KB or 50KB), the tool might also reduce the image dimensions (width/height) to meet the requirement, which can affect perceived quality.

You can upload images up to 25MB in size.
