About this tool
Reduce a photo's file size for faster page loads and easier sharing, with a quality slider so you control the size-vs-quality trade-off.
Frequently asked questions
How much can compression actually reduce file size?
It depends on the image, but photos typically shrink 50-80% at a "high quality" setting with no visible difference — push the quality slider lower for even smaller files at a visible trade-off.
Is there a quality trade-off?
Yes, by nature — image compression makes a trade-off between file size and visual quality. Our default setting favors quality; lower the slider only if you specifically need a smaller file and can accept some quality loss.
Does this add a watermark to my image?
No. The compressed image is exactly your original content, just smaller — nothing is added or removed visually.
JPG or PNG — which compresses better?
Photos (JPG) generally compress further than graphics/screenshots with sharp edges and text (PNG), since PNG is already using lossless compression by design.
