Privacy: Your image is compressed locally in your browser and never uploaded.

## About

Smaller images load faster and use less bandwidth. This compressor re-encodes your image as JPG or WebP at a quality you choose, and shows the original size, new size, and percentage saved before you download.

Because it runs locally, you can compress sensitive images without uploading them anywhere.

## How to use

1. **Choose an image** — JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 25 MB.
2. **Tune quality and format** — WebP usually saves the most at a given quality.
3. **Check the savings and download** — Before/after sizes are shown side by side.

## FAQ

### Why is my compressed file sometimes bigger?

If the source is already heavily compressed or tiny, re-encoding at high quality can add data. Lower the quality or switch to WebP.

### Does compression reduce dimensions?

No. This tool reduces file size via encoding quality, not pixel dimensions. Use the Image Resizer to change dimensions.

### What is the difference between quality and size?

Quality is the encoder's fidelity setting (1-100). Size is the target file size in KB. A quality-based compressor lets you pick how good the image looks; a size-based compressor picks the quality that fits your size target.
