Drop images anywhere on this page
JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, SVG, or HEIC. Your photos stay on this device.
When to compress
Use compress when the photo already looks the right size, but the file is too heavy to email or upload.
If the picture is huge because it is thousands of pixels wide, resize first. If you need a website format, convert to WebP often helps more than squeezing a JPG too hard.
Screenshots saved as PNG often stay large until you turn them into JPG. A form that says “under 2 MB” is a job for Fit an upload limit.
How to do it
- Drop the photos you want to shrink. They stay on your device.
- Use the quality slider, or type a size in MB to stay under if a form has a limit.
- Download the smaller files.
Tips
- Logos and tiny text look worse if you compress too hard. Keep quality higher, or stay on PNG.
- You do not need the lowest setting. A little smaller is often enough.
- Start from the original photo, not a file you already compressed three times.

FAQ
- Does compressing upload my photo?
- No. The photo stays on your phone or computer. We never receive it.
- Why didn’t my PNG get much smaller?
- PNG is meant to keep every detail. Save as JPG if you do not need a perfect screenshot.
- Will the photo look blurry?
- A middle setting is usually fine for people and landscapes. Check the preview before you send it.
