Image Compression

In terms of digital files, compression is the act of encoding information using fewer bits than what's found in the original file. Simply put, it means converting a large file into a smaller file.

There are two types of compression: lossless and lossy. Lossless compression is when the compression tool removes empty, needless, or duplicated bits from the original file. This results in a smaller file that has the exact same quality as the original. Lossy compression is when the compressor removes excessive or unimportant bits from the original file. This results in a smaller file but with a reduced quality. With lossy compression, how small you want the final file to be will depend on how much loss of quality you're comfortable with.

Why would you want to compress images?

How does the image compressor work?

Our tool uses lossy compression to shrink down image files. It supports three file types: PNG, JPG/JPEG, and GIF. This system intelligently analyzes uploaded images and reduces them to the smallest possible file size without negatively affecting the overall quality.

1. Upload your images - Click the "Select Files" button or drag and drop your images into the upload area.
2. Compression happens automatically - Our system will process your images right in your browser.
3. Adjust quality if needed - Click on any image to adjust its compression quality using the slider.
4. Download your compressed images - Download individual images or all images at once.

Is it safe to compress images?

Yes, our image compression tool runs completely in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to any server, ensuring total privacy and security. The original files on your device remain untouched, and the compressed versions are created separately for you to download.
