Image Compressor

The image compressor reduces file size by adjusting image quality and optimizing encoding. It processes images entirely in your browser using canvas technology, maintaining visual quality while significantly reducing file sizes for faster web loading and storage savings.

The tool supports common web image formats including JPEG, PNG, and WebP. You can upload these formats and choose to output in the same format or convert to a different format during compression for optimal results.

Compression results vary by image type and content. Typically, you can achieve 50-80% size reduction with minimal quality loss. Photos with gradients compress more than graphics with sharp edges. The tool lets you preview results before downloading.

Modern compression algorithms minimize quality loss. The tool uses adjustable quality settings so you can balance file size vs. quality. Higher quality settings preserve more detail but create larger files, while lower settings provide more compression.

Yes, all image processing happens entirely in your browser. No images are uploaded to servers or stored anywhere. Your photos remain completely private and secure on your device throughout the compression process.

Currently, the tool processes one image at a time to ensure optimal results and performance. For multiple images, you can repeat the process for each image, choosing appropriate settings for each image type and intended use.

For web use, 80-85% quality typically provides excellent results with good compression. For print materials, use 90-95% quality. For thumbnails or previews, 60-75% may be sufficient. Always preview the result to ensure it meets your requirements.

JPEG is best for photos with many colors and gradients. PNG is ideal for images with transparency or sharp edges like logos. WebP offers better compression than both but has limited browser support in older browsers.

This browser-based tool offers immediate results without uploading files to external servers, ensuring privacy. While specialized software might offer more advanced options, this tool provides excellent compression for most web and general use cases.

For professional printing, use minimal compression (90-95% quality) and ensure the image resolution meets print requirements. Heavy compression can create artifacts visible in print. Test print a small sample first to verify quality meets your standards.
