What quality setting should I use?

For photos, 70–85% is usually indistinguishable from the original while cutting file size dramatically. Lower it further if size matters more than fine detail.

Image Compressor Guide: How to Shrink Images

Q: Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. Images are processed entirely in your browser with the Canvas API. The file never leaves your device, which makes the tool safe for personal photos and confidential images.

Q: Which format should I choose?

WebP usually gives the smallest files at good quality and is supported by all modern browsers. JPEG is the safest choice for maximum compatibility. PNG is lossless — best for graphics with sharp edges or transparency, but larger.

What this tool does

The Image Compressor & Resizer re-encodes your image at a smaller file size, and can shrink its dimensions at the same time. It uses the browser's Canvas API to redraw the image and export it as JPEG, WebP, or PNG — all on your device, with no upload. You see the new size instantly and can download the result.

How to use it

Open the Image Compressor and choose an image.
Pick an output format (WebP for the smallest files, JPEG for maximum compatibility, PNG for lossless graphics).
Adjust Quality — lower means a smaller file (JPEG and WebP only).
Optionally set a Max width to resize large photos; the height scales automatically.
Check the size saved, then click Download.

Choosing format and quality

WebP — usually the smallest at a given quality; supported everywhere modern.
JPEG — the safe, universal choice for photographs.
PNG — lossless; best for logos, screenshots, or images with transparency, but larger than the others.
Quality 70–85% is usually visually identical to the original for photos while cutting size dramatically.

Why compress images

Faster-loading web pages and better search rankings.
Staying under upload limits on forms, marketplaces, and email.
Saving storage and bandwidth when sharing lots of photos.

Your photos stay private

Because the work happens in your browser, your image never leaves your device — there's no server to upload to. That's a genuine privacy advantage over tools that process images in the cloud, and it's why this one works offline once the page has loaded.
