How to compress an image
- Add one or more images (JPG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC…).
- Pick the quality, the largest side and the output format.
- Click Compress and download your smaller images.
Phone photos are often 3–8 MB each, which is too heavy for upload forms that cap attachments at 1 or 2 MB, for email, or for a fast-loading website. This tool cuts the file size dramatically while keeping the picture crisp on screen.
“Recommended” is the right choice for most people. Use “Smallest file” when you face a strict upload limit, or “High quality” for product photos and portfolios. To save even more, limit the largest side to 1920 px — a 4000-pixel photo is rarely needed for the web or email. WEBP usually gives the smallest files of all.
iPhone HEIC photos are saved as JPG so they open everywhere, and hidden camera details and GPS location are stripped along the way. If a picture is already well optimized, the tool tells you and keeps the original instead of making it bigger.
Files are processed in memory and deleted automatically after 30 minutes. You can compress up to 50 images at once, on a computer or a phone.
Frequently asked questions
How do I reduce an image's file size without losing quality?
Upload the image and keep the default level: it removes invisible data and re-encodes the picture at a quality the eye does not notice, usually 60 to 80% smaller. Use a stronger level or convert to WEBP when a form asks for a size limit.
Is this image compressor free?
Yes, it's completely free with no account needed. You can compress up to 50 images in one go.
Will my photos lose quality?
With “Recommended” the difference is practically invisible. Choose “High quality” if you want to keep every detail.
How do I get a photo under 1 MB?
Choose “Smallest file” and set the largest side to 1920 or 1280 px. A typical phone photo then ends up well under 1 MB.
Can I compress iPhone HEIC photos?
Yes. HEIC photos are accepted and saved as JPG, which every computer and website can open.
Are my images safe?
Images are processed in memory, never shared, and deleted automatically after 30 minutes. GPS location and camera details are also removed from the compressed files.
