Output as JPEG for maximum compatibility or WebP for even smaller files in modern browsers.

Your image never leaves your device. All processing is done locally using the HTML5 Canvas API.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will compression reduce image quality?

At quality 70–80% the difference is usually invisible to the naked eye and the file is 40–60% smaller. Below 50% artefacts become noticeable. The live preview lets you judge for yourself.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. Everything is processed locally using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your image never leaves your device.

Which formats are supported?

Input: JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP. Output: JPEG or WebP (your choice). PNG output is not offered because it is lossless and cannot be further compressed this way.

Why does JPEG compress better than my original PNG?

PNG is a lossless format, often producing large files. Converting to JPEG or WebP applies lossy compression, which typically yields much smaller files.

What is WebP and should I use it?

WebP is a modern image format developed by Google. It typically produces files 25–35% smaller than JPEG at the same visual quality. Use it for websites — all modern browsers support it.

Is there a file size or resolution limit?

There is no hard limit. Very large images (e.g. 50 MP+ photos) may be slow to process on low-end devices due to browser memory constraints.
