How a picture gets lighter
Three things happen, in this order. None of them changes what you see.
- 1
Hidden data goes first
Camera model, location, editing history. You never see it, but it can weigh more than a small photo.
- 2
Detail your eye can't see
The picture is read in tiny 8 × 8 squares. Inside each one, the finest flicker of colour is simplified.
- 3
Colours that look alike become one
A picture can carry millions of colours. A few hundred well-chosen ones look exactly the same.

Three ways to compress
Most people never need more than the first. The other two are there when the file has a job to do.
Exact
Keeps every pixel as it was. Only the hidden data goes and the file is packed tighter. For logos, artwork and anything you'll edit again.
5–30%smaller
Custom
Choose the quality yourself, or tell it the size the file has to fit, like YouTube's 2 MB limit for thumbnails.
Your call
Which format to save as
| Format | Size, same look | Opens on | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| JPG | The usual size | Everything | Photos and thumbnails |
| PNG | Bigger for photos | Everything | Logos, text and see-through backgrounds |
| WebP | About a third smaller | Nearly everything | Websites |
| AVIF | About half the size | Newer browsers and apps | Websites where every kilobyte counts |
Making a YouTube thumbnail? Save it as JPG or PNG under 2 MB. YouTube doesn't accept AVIF. Pick "Under 2 MB" and the compressor finds the best quality that fits.
Your pictures stay with you
Most compressors upload your images to their servers. This one does all the work inside your browser, so there's nothing to upload, nothing to wait for and nothing kept anywhere.
- Nothing is uploadedClient photos, unreleased artwork and personal pictures never leave your computer.
- No daily limitDrop one image or two hundred. There's no counter and no account.
- FastNo upload or download wait. Your own computer does the work.
