What is Image Compression?
Image compression is the process of reducing the file size of an image while maintaining acceptable visual quality. Our free online image compressor uses smart algorithms to remove unnecessary data from your images, making them smaller and faster to load without noticeable quality loss.
This tool is perfect for optimizing images for websites, reducing email attachment sizes, saving storage space, or meeting file size requirements for applications and social media platforms.

- Upload Image: Click the upload area or drag & drop your image file (JPG, PNG, or WebP)
- Adjust Quality: Use the slider to set compression quality from 10% to 100%
- Preview Results: See original vs compressed side-by-side with file size comparison
- Fine-tune: Adjust the quality slider to find the perfect balance between size and quality
- Download: Click "Download Compressed" to save your optimized image
Image Compression Examples
Example 1: Website Optimization
Sarah has a product photo that's 2.5MB. She needs it under 500KB for her website.
- Original: 2.5MB, 3000×2000 pixels
- Compressed (70% quality): 420KB, same dimensions
- Result: 83% file size reduction, website loads 5x faster
Example 2: Email Attachment
John wants to email 10 vacation photos but they're too large (15MB total).
- Original: 10 photos, 1.5MB each, 15MB total
- Compressed (80% quality): 400KB each, 4MB total
- Result: All photos fit in one email, quality still excellent
Example 3: Social Media Upload
Maria's profile picture is 5MB but Instagram recommends under 1MB.
- Original: 5MB, 4000×4000 pixels
- Compressed (75% quality): 850KB, same dimensions
- Result: Uploads instantly, looks perfect on all devices
Compression Technical Details
