Compress Image

Create a smaller JPG or WebP copy and compare the resulting file size before you download it.

JPG, PNG, or WebP · up to 15 MB per image

Your image is processed in your browser and is not uploaded to our server.

Choose an image to compare its original size with a compressed result.

How to use this tool

  1. 1Choose an image and note its original file size.
  2. 2Set a compression quality or choose a practical target such as 20 KB, 50 KB, or 100 KB.
  3. 3Create the result, compare its size and visual detail, then download it if it works for your application.

What this tool does

Compression reduces the amount of data used to store an image. A lower quality setting generally produces a smaller file, but it can also reduce visual detail. A target size is a best effort, not a promise: the original image dimensions, content, and output format determine whether a particular result is possible.

Useful tips

  • •Try a moderate quality first and check whether small text remains readable.
  • •If you need a much smaller file, reduce dimensions as well as quality.
  • •Keep a copy of the original file until your application is complete.

Common mistakes

  • •Expecting every image to reach an exact target size with no visible quality trade-off.
  • •Compressing the same image repeatedly, which can add avoidable artifacts.
  • •Using a tiny result for a document where text must remain legible.

Limitations

  • •The exact output size depends on the original image, format, dimensions, and quality setting.
  • •Very strong compression can reduce detail, especially around text and sharp edges.

Frequently asked questions

Can this make an image exactly 50 KB?

It attempts to find a result at or below a selected target, but an exact size depends on the image and output format.

Why is my image still large?

Large dimensions and detailed photo content can limit how small an image becomes at usable quality. Try resizing it first.

What is the result size shown in?

It is shown in KB or MB, which measures the file’s storage size rather than its width and height.
