Does the compressor upload my photo?

No. The photo is shrunk inside your browser and never sent to our servers or anyone else’s, so private photos stay private. It’s gone when you close the page.

How much smaller does compressing make a photo?

Most phone photos shrink by well over half on Balanced. Picking a smaller size, like 1920 px, cuts it further. If a photo is already tightly packed, we say so rather than hand back a bigger file.

Will a compressed photo look worse?

On Balanced you’d struggle to spot a difference at normal size. Press and hold Compare to flick between your original and the result before you download.

What does the compressor do with PNG and HEIC photos?

PNGs become WebP, which keeps see-through backgrounds at a fraction of the size. iPhone HEIC photos become JPG, which every site accepts. JPG and WebP stay as they are. Safari can’t save WebP, so there PNGs become JPG.

Does compressing remove the location and camera details?

Yes. Location, camera and date details are left out of the new file, which is handy before you share a photo publicly.

Reduce image size without losing the look

Most upload limits are about file size, not picture size. Here’s how to get under one and still have a photo you’re happy to send.

Compress JPEG photos
Phone and camera photos are usually JPGs. Start on Balanced and check the new size under the preview. Still too big? Switch to Smallest before changing anything else. At normal viewing size the difference is hard to spot, and the file drops again. Compress from the original when you can, because a JPG that has already been squeezed loses a little more each time.
Compress PNG screenshots and logos
A PNG keeps every detail exactly, which is why screenshots and logos get heavy. The compressor saves them as WebP, which keeps see-through backgrounds at a fraction of the size. Safari can’t save WebP, so there they become JPG and the see-through parts are filled in.
Compress an image to 100 KB
Strict forms often ask for 100 KB or less. Pick Smallest and set the longest side to 1280 px, because a smaller picture shrinks the file faster than anything else. The new size shows before you download. Still over? Trim empty edges with the Image Cropper, then compress again.
Lighter photos for your website
Most pages show photos no wider than a laptop screen, so a full-size phone photo is far more than they need. Set the longest side to 1920 px for wide banners or 1280 px for blog and product photos, keep Balanced, and your pages load quicker on phones. Search engines notice slow pages too, so lighter photos help people find your site as well as stay on it.
When a photo won’t get smaller
Some files have already been squeezed by an app or a website. If compressing wouldn’t save anything, we tell you instead of handing back a bigger file. Try Smallest, or a smaller longest side, which still works when the quality setting alone can’t.
Your photos stay on your device
Every photo is compressed by your own browser, so nothing is uploaded and there’s no queue to wait in. That also means no account, no daily limit and no watermark. Compress as many photos as you like, as often as you need.
