Image Compressor
Reduce image file size without losing much quality. All processing happens in your browser.

- Upload your image (drag & drop or click browse)

- Select an output format
- Set a max width to resize if needed
- Click "Compress" and download the result

How This Image Compressor Works
This tool redraws your image onto a canvas at your chosen dimensions, then re-encodes it in your selected format at your chosen quality level. JPEG and WebP use lossy compression (the quality slider controls the tradeoff between file size and visual quality), while PNG is always lossless — reducing PNG file size mainly comes from resizing, not the quality slider.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my image get a black background after converting to JPEG?
This is fixed — the tool now fills transparent areas with white before converting to JPEG, since JPEG doesn't support transparency. If you need to keep transparency, export as PNG or WebP instead.
Why is my "compressed" file bigger than the original?
This can happen if you convert a JPEG to PNG (since PNG is lossless and doesn't compress photos well), or if the quality setting is higher than your original file's compression. Try JPEG or WebP at a lower quality for photos.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. All compression happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API — your image is never sent to a server.

The Costly Mistakes I Made with Compression (Learn From My Mistakes)
- The Transparency Nightmare: I once uploaded a beautiful logo with a transparent background as a standard JPG file. I didn’t realize that the JPG format does not support transparency, so it turned my background into a solid, ugly black box. Always use PNG for transparent graphics and logos.
- Over-Compressing Text Images: I once pulled the compression slider all the way down to 20% on an infographic that had small text. The resulting file was tiny, but the text became blurry and unreadable. For charts and text-heavy banners, always keep your quality slider above 70%.
- Deleting the Originals: In my early days, I used to replace my original high-quality photos with compressed versions instantly. Later, when I needed to print a high-res banner, I realized I had lost the original master files forever. Always keep a backup of your raw, uncompressed images in a separate folder!
