How to use Image Compressor
Steps
- Upload one or more JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, or BMP images.
- Choose the output format, quality level, and optional maximum width.
- Preview the compressed result and compare the new size with the original.
- Download a single optimized image or a ZIP when processing a batch.
Example use case
A 2.4 MB blog cover JPG can often be reduced to 500-800 KB by exporting as WebP at medium-high quality while keeping the visible detail suitable for web publishing.
Settings explained
- Quality controls the balance between file size and visible detail. Lower values make smaller files but can add compression artifacts.
- Max width is useful for large camera photos that only need to appear in a website, email, or social post.
- Output format matters: WebP is usually smaller for web use, while PNG is better when sharp transparency is required.
Limitations
- Very large images depend on available browser memory, especially on mobile devices.
- Animated formats may be flattened or processed as a still image depending on browser support.
- Lossy compression cannot recover detail that has already been removed by a previous export.
Troubleshooting
- If the output is blurry, increase quality or disable resizing.
- If the file is still too large, try WebP and set a practical maximum width.
- If a PNG becomes much larger, keep PNG only when transparency or pixel-sharp graphics are required.
