Why Compress Images?

Smaller image files mean faster page loads, lower bandwidth costs, and better Google PageSpeed scores. According to Google, images account for more than 60% of a typical webpage's total size. Compressing images is the single most impactful performance optimization you can make.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will compression make my image blurry?

At quality settings of 70% or above, the difference is virtually unnoticeable to the human eye. The preview lets you compare before downloading.

Are my images uploaded to your servers?

No. All compression happens in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images never leave your device.

What's the best format to compress to?

WEBP provides the best compression (25–35% smaller than JPG). For maximum browser compatibility, JPG is best for photos and PNG for graphics with transparency.

Is there a limit to how many images I can compress?

No limits. You can compress as many images as you want, completely free. Simply repeat the process for each image.
