How to compress images without losing too much quality.

Reduce file size while checking visible detail and the exact number of bytes before download.

Real workflow example: source and encoded bytes plus visible quality are compared before download.
Quick answer

Start near 80% quality without an exact target. Compare the result, then lower quality only if the file remains too large. Use a target when a destination enforces a strict limit.

Add one image or a batch

Select up to 20 JPG, PNG or WebP files. They are decoded and encoded locally in a Worker where supported, keeping the interface responsive.

Choose quality before dimensions

80% is a useful photo starting point. Small text, line art and interface captures often need more. Compare faces, gradients and edges in the before/after view.

Use targets carefully

Choose 200 KB, 500 KB, 1 MB or 2 MB only when required. The tool searches encoding quality first, then may reduce dimensions and clearly labels that result.

Choose a format

JPG offers broad compatibility. WebP often creates smaller modern files and can preserve transparency. Keep an original because lossy compression cannot be reversed.

Download verified results

Download one completed result or a ZIP. If re-encoding cannot make an already optimized image smaller, the tool reports that rather than presenting a misleading saving.
