How much can I compress an image?

Photographic JPG and WebP images can typically be compressed by 60–90% with no visible quality loss. PNG images see smaller reductions because PNG is already lossless. The exact reduction depends on the image content and the quality level you select.

What quality level should I use?

Quality 80 is a good default for most use cases — it produces small files with no visible quality loss on screen. Use quality 60–70 for thumbnails and web images where size matters most. Use quality 90–95 for archival or print-adjacent use.

Does compression work on PNG images?

Yes. PNG images are re-encoded at the quality level you select. Since PNG is normally lossless, even quality 90 will produce a smaller file. For screenshots with text, consider keeping quality at 80+ to preserve edge sharpness.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. All compression happens in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images never leave your device, which makes this tool fast and completely private.

About Image Compressor

The Image Compressor reduces the file size of JPG, PNG, and WebP images by re-encoding them at a lower quality setting and, optionally, a smaller resolution. This is essential for speeding up websites, reducing email attachment sizes, saving storage space, and meeting upload limits on web forms. The compressor runs entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API, which means your images never leave your device — a major privacy advantage over server-based tools. You can adjust the quality level with a live preview, see the before-and-after file sizes in real time, and download the compressed image when you're happy with the result. For photographs, JPG and WebP produce the smallest files. For screenshots and images with sharp text, PNG preserves detail better but produces larger files.

Privacy

Limitations
