How to Compress Images Online

  1. Click the upload area and select an image (PNG, JPG, or WebP).
  2. Choose an output format or keep the same format.
  3. Adjust the quality slider — lower means smaller file size.
  4. Click "Compress Image" and download the result.

Why Compress Images?

  • Faster Websites: Smaller images load faster, improving user experience and SEO rankings. Google uses page speed as a ranking factor.
  • Save Storage: Reduce cloud storage costs and keep your media library manageable.
  • Email & Messaging: Many email services and chat apps have file size limits. Compressed images are easier to share.
  • Social Media: Platforms re-compress uploaded images anyway — pre-compressing gives you more control over the final result.

Compression Tips

For photographs: JPG at 75-85% quality offers the best balance. Most viewers can't tell the difference below 85%, but file size drops significantly.

For web graphics: WebP at 80% quality is 25-35% smaller than equivalent JPG. If browser support isn't a concern, always prefer WebP.

For screenshots & diagrams: PNG is lossless but larger. Consider converting to WebP for significant size savings with minimal quality loss.

What our customers say

People love how great our product works and how we're always there to help

Rated 4.7

"Business pressures now demand almost a 24x7 operation. The difference between choosing one SaaS product or another isn't just down to the technical capabilities of each, but down to their responsiveness when it doesn't quite work. In this case, an issue blocked us from being able to use the platform as intended. Within minutes of using the live chat, the issue was not only reproduced but correctly identified. Within the hour, the hot fix had been coded, tested and applied - unblocking the bottleneck and allowing us to carry on working. This is exceptional and the reason why I can't recommend this company enough - I'm so impressed and very grateful for their hard work. Keep it up!"

"We were looking for tools to help our users create and edit images with templates. We tried options like Canva, but Templated.io turned out to be the perfect choice for our product. It offers an easy API to render images, and its embed editor lets us provide our users with a full editing experience without having to create complex frontend components. It's a really great tool!"

"Brilliant piece of software. Reasonably priced (vs Canva's outrageously expensive API), and despite a few intricacies with the editor, a really fully-featured document generation API. Really great support too from Pedro, the founder!"

"Templated.io is basically a an API-first graphics content designer which makes it super easy to programmatically create document and image assets. It has most basic features and it is robust and "just works". The Make.com app really makes it super simple to incorporate into automation workflows. What sets templated.io apart the most is Pedro and his super fast and service minded, solutions oriented responses."

Image Compressor FAQs

Common questions about compressing images

Is this image compressor free?

Yes, completely free with no limits. Your images are processed entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to any server.

Will compression reduce my image quality?

At quality settings above 80%, the difference is virtually imperceptible to the human eye. You can preview the result before downloading to ensure you're happy with the quality.

What is the best quality setting?

For most web use, 75-85% offers an excellent balance between file size and visual quality. For printing or professional work, use 90%+ to preserve maximum detail.

Which format produces the smallest file?

WebP consistently produces the smallest files — typically 25-35% smaller than JPG at the same visual quality. If your target platform supports WebP, it's the best choice for compression.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens 100% in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your images never leave your device.

Can I compress PNG images?

PNG uses lossless compression, so you can't reduce quality like with JPG. However, you can convert PNG to JPG or WebP for significant size reductions, especially for photographs.

How much can I reduce the file size?

Typical savings range from 30-70% depending on the original image, format, and quality setting. Photographs usually compress better than graphics with flat colors and sharp edges.

What is lossy vs lossless compression?

Lossy compression (JPG, WebP lossy) permanently removes some image data to achieve smaller files. Lossless compression (PNG, WebP lossless) preserves every pixel but with less size reduction. For most web use, lossy compression at high quality is the best trade-off.

Does Google recommend compressing images?

Yes. Google's PageSpeed Insights specifically flags uncompressed images as an optimization opportunity. Compressed images improve Core Web Vitals scores, which directly affect search rankings.

What is the maximum file size I can compress?

This tool accepts images up to 20MB. Since processing happens in your browser, very large images may take a moment depending on your device.
