What does image compression do?
Image compression reduces file size so pages load faster, use less bandwidth, and improve Core Web Vitals. This helps SEO and user experience, especially on mobile connections.
Why this tool is privacy-first
Your image is processed locally in the browser. No upload queue, no third-party storage, and no server-side image retention. If you need editing before export, use our Image Editor or switch output format with Image Converter or generate inline image strings with Image to Base64 . If you need to inspect camera or GPS tags before cleanup, open Image Metadata Viewer or remove metadata without compression via Image EXIF Remover.
Compression playbook by image type
Blog hero image
Start with WebP, quality around 78-86, max width 1600-1920 px. This usually keeps detail while reducing payload significantly.
Product photo
Try JPEG for compatibility. Use moderate quality and avoid over-sharpened source files before compression.
UI screenshot or logo
Keep PNG if transparency and crisp edges are required. For mixed graphics, compare PNG and WebP output before publishing.
Common compression mistakes to avoid
- Using very low quality settings on text-heavy images or screenshots.
- Keeping original dimensions for mobile-first layouts.
- Assuming PNG is always heavier than JPEG or WebP in every case.
- Skipping visual review after target-size compression mode.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which format should I use?
WebP is usually best for web delivery. JPEG works well for photos and broad compatibility. PNG is best when you need transparency or sharp UI assets.
Will compression reduce image quality?
Lossy formats like JPEG/WebP can reduce quality when compressed aggressively. Use moderate quality settings and preview results to balance size and clarity.
Does this tool remove metadata?
Yes. The output image is re-encoded in-browser, which strips most metadata such as EXIF by default.
