Image Compressor

Make a photo smaller in file size without changing how it looks on a phone screen. Choose a quality level, or type the maximum KB you want.

How to use

  1. Choose your photo.
  2. Move the quality slider, or type a maximum size in KB.
  3. Tap Compress image.
  4. Compare the new size with the old size and download.

Quality 70 to 80 gives a big size drop with little visible change. If you need an exact size such as 50 KB, type it in the size box.

Questions and answers

How much can I compress an image?

Photos often shrink by 50 to 90 percent. The result depends on the picture and the quality you choose.

Which format compresses best?

JPG and WebP are best for photos. PNG is lossless here, so it does not shrink much.

Is the image quality reduced?

A little, because compression removes small details. At quality 70 or higher the change is hard to see.

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No. This tool runs inside your browser. Your file stays on your phone or computer and is never sent to our server.

Is this tool free?

Yes. It is free, needs no sign-up and has no daily limit.
