Image Compressor
Compress images to reduce file size while maintaining quality. Perfect for web optimization and storage savings
Upload an image to compress
Supports JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and more
Upload your image by clicking the 'Select Image' button or dragging and dropping your file into the upload area. The tool supports all major image formats including JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and TIFF, with automatic format detection and optimization recommendations based on image content analysis.
Choose your preferred compression level from the preset options: Light compression (92% quality) for minimal size reduction with maximum quality retention, Medium compression (85% quality) for balanced optimization, Heavy compression (70% quality) for significant size savings, or Maximum compression (50% quality) for smallest possible file sizes.
Alternatively, select 'Custom Settings' to access advanced compression controls including manual quality adjustment, maximum dimension limits, output format selection, and specialized optimization parameters for specific use cases like web publishing, print preparation, or mobile optimization.
Configure output format preferences by choosing to maintain the original format or converting to more efficient formats like WebP for modern browsers, JPEG for photographs, or PNG for graphics with transparency requirements, with automatic format recommendations based on image characteristics.
Set maximum dimensions if needed to resize images during compression, preventing oversized images from impacting page load times or exceeding platform requirements, with intelligent aspect ratio preservation and quality-aware resizing algorithms.
Click 'Compress Image' to initiate the optimization process, which analyzes your image characteristics and applies the most appropriate compression algorithms while providing real-time progress feedback and estimated completion times for large files.
Review the compression results in the side-by-side comparison view, examining the original versus compressed versions with detailed statistics including file size reduction, compression ratio, quality metrics, and visual difference analysis.
Download the optimized image using the 'Download Compressed Image' button, with the compressed file automatically named to indicate optimization status and compression settings for easy file management and version control.
Pro Tips
- For photographs and images with gradients, JPEG format typically provides the best compression efficiency while maintaining natural appearance, especially when using medium to light compression settings that preserve important visual details and color accuracy.
- Use PNG format for images with text, logos, or sharp edges where preserving crisp details is more important than file size, as PNG's lossless compression maintains perfect clarity for graphics and technical images.
- Enable WebP output format for modern web applications, as it provides superior compression efficiency compared to JPEG and PNG while maintaining browser compatibility for progressive enhancement strategies.
- Test different compression levels on a representative sample of your images to find the optimal balance between file size reduction and visual quality for your specific use case and quality requirements.
- For batch optimization workflows, maintain consistent compression settings across similar images to ensure uniform visual quality and predictable file size outcomes throughout your project or website.
- Consider the viewing context when selecting compression levels - images displayed as thumbnails can handle higher compression ratios than hero images or detailed graphics that require pixel-perfect clarity.
- Monitor the compression statistics to understand the effectiveness of different settings on your specific image types, helping you develop optimal compression strategies for different content categories and usage scenarios.
