What this tool does

Make JPG, PNG or WebP photos lighter for a website, an email or an online form. Set the quality and maximum size; the estimated size shows before you export.

What is kept

  • The transparency of PNG and WebP
  • The image's proportions

Good to know

  • An already highly compressed image gains little
  • JPG has no transparency: it turns white

Tips

  • A quality of 75 to 85% is often invisible to the eye
  • WebP usually gives lighter files than JPG

How to use Compress an image

  1. 1

    Upload your file

    Prepare JPG, PNG and WebP photos: adjust quality and dimensions, then check the result before downloading.

  2. 2

    Process images

    Lower quality generally reduces file size with some detail loss. PNG preserves pixels without a quality setting.

  3. 3

    Download

    Save the converted file, or the whole batch as a ZIP.
