Image Compressor

How to Compress an Image Online

1. Click Choose Files or drag and drop your JPG, PNG, or WebP images into the upload area.
2. Adjust the quality slider — lower values give smaller files, higher values keep more detail. 70–80% is a good default for web use.
3. Click Compress and wait a moment while your browser processes the images.
4. Review the before/after file size comparison, then click Download to save your compressed image.

When Should You Compress Images?

Uncompressed images are the single biggest cause of slow websites. Google's PageSpeed Insights flags oversized images as a Core Web Vitals issue that directly affects your search ranking. Compressing images before uploading them to your website, blog, or e-commerce store can reduce page load times by 2–4× — improving both SEO and user experience. Images sent via WhatsApp or email also benefit from compression to stay under attachment size limits.

JPG vs PNG vs WebP — Which Format to Use?

• JPG — best for photographs and images with many colours. Small file size, no transparency.
• PNG — best for logos, screenshots, and images with transparent backgrounds. Larger files but lossless.
• WebP — best for websites. 25–35% smaller than JPG/PNG at equivalent quality. Supported by all modern browsers.
