Image Compressor

Compress up to 20 JPG, PNG, or WebP images to a target file size or quality level, then compare each result before downloading.

That "attachment too large" error hits different when you've written the perfect email. Compress your pics to slip under any email limit while keeping them looking crisp. Your photos actually send this time, and they still look great on the other end. Want to skip the attachment entirely? Turn the photo into a link instead.

Forms That Accept Your Upload

Forms That Accept Your Upload→

Job applications, visa forms, school portals—they all want your photo under 100KB or some random limit (U.S. visa uploads cap at 240KB, many ID forms want 20–100KB). Instead of screenshotting and praying, pick the KB cap you need and the compressor works down to it. When a form also fixes the pixel dimensions, resize to those first, then compress to the KB limit—crushing quality before you've sized correctly only makes the photo look worse.

Your Site, But Faster

Your Site, But Faster→

Heavy images are why your site feels slow. Every extra second of loading means people bounce. Compress your photos and suddenly everything loads instantly. For the web, WebP squeezes roughly 25–34% smaller than JPEG at the same visual quality, so convert to WebP first for the tightest pages—same beautiful pics, your visitors just don't have to wait for them anymore.

Post Without Platform Crushing

You upload a perfect photo and the app turns it into a pixelated mess. Platforms aggressively compress big files. Beat them by pre-compressing to the sweet spot—you stay in control of how your content actually looks when people see it.

Compression That Actually Works

Pick the KB cap your form needs and the compressor works down to it, right in your browser.

Pick Your Size

Pick Your Size

Choose a common limit from 10KB through 2MB, or type your own KB cap, and the compressor searches for the highest quality that fits. Prefer control? Use the quality slider instead. Target-size mode only reduces pixel dimensions when quality adjustment alone cannot meet the cap, and it never replaces your source with a larger file.

Looks The Same

Looks The Same

The compressor searches for the highest quality that still fits your target, so you keep as much detail as the size limit allows. Most photos look the same at normal viewing size, and you see the before and after file sizes for every image.

Any Format

Any Format

Upload JPG, PNG, or WebP. Save as JPEG or WebP, or keep the original format. The file extension always matches the format you get. PNG is lossless, so pick JPEG or WebP when you need a smaller file.

How to compress an image?

  1. 1

    Step 1: Upload Your Image

    Drag and drop any image file or click to select from your device. We support JPG, PNG, and WebP formats up to 50MB.

  2. 2

    Step 2: Set Your Target Size

    Pick a common limit from 10KB through 2MB, type a custom KB size, or switch to the quality slider. Choose JPEG, WebP, or keep the original format.

  3. 3

    Step 3: Download

    See the before and after size for every image, then download one or all of them as a ZIP. No watermarks. Compression runs in your browser, so your photos are never uploaded.

FAQ

Image Compressor FAQ

Can't find what you're looking for? Contact support

What is an image compressor?

A tool that reduces the file size (KB or MB) of an image. Quality mode keeps the width and height unchanged; target-size mode can also scale the dimensions proportionally when that is necessary to meet a tight cap.

How do I compress an image to 50KB or 100KB?

Upload your image, choose the Under 50KB or Under 100KB preset, and download. The compressor searches for the highest quality that fits before reducing dimensions.

Does compression reduce image quality?

Some quality reduction is unavoidable. But for most uses—email, web, social media—you won't notice the difference. We find the optimal balance.

What's the difference between compressing and resizing?

Quality compression reduces file size by changing encoding quality while keeping the same pixels. Resizing changes width and height. This tool prioritizes quality changes, but target-size mode can resize proportionally when that is the only practical way to meet a tight KB limit.

Which format compresses best?

WebP gives 25-35% smaller files than JPEG at the same quality. If your platform supports WebP, use it. Otherwise, JPEG works great for photos.

Is this image compressor free?

Yes. No hidden fees, no premium features, no watermarks. Compress as many images as you need.

Do I need to create an account?

No. Upload, compress, download. No signup required.

Can I compress multiple images at once?

Yes. Add several images, set one target size or quality, and download them individually or all together as a ZIP.

How do I compress an image to 20KB?

Upload your image, choose the Under 20KB preset, and download the result. 20KB is a tight cap, so a large or detailed source may lose fine detail and pixel dimensions. Use a higher limit whenever the destination allows it.

How do I compress an image to 200KB?

Pick the Under 200KB preset and download. Many photos can fit that ceiling through quality adjustment alone, but the result depends on the source dimensions and detail.

Can it hit an exact KB number?

Final file size depends on image detail, dimensions, and format, so results aim for just under the cap rather than an exact byte count. Enter the maximum the destination allows; if the browser cannot reach it within the processing limits, the result is clearly marked.

My form limits both the dimensions and the file size—what order should I use?

Resize the pixel dimensions first, then compress to the KB limit. Sizing down to the required pixels already removes most of the file weight, so you compress less afterward and keep more quality. Crushing the file before resizing tends to make the final photo look worse. Use the image resizer for dimensions, then come back here for the KB target.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. Compression runs in your browser, so your photos stay on your device. If the result would be larger than the file you uploaded, you get your original back with a note instead.

What image formats can I upload?

JPG, PNG, and WebP. JPG is best for photographs and is accepted almost everywhere; PNG keeps transparency but is much larger for photos; WebP is the smallest at comparable quality, which helps when the KB cap is tight and the destination accepts it.
