🔒 Your images are compressed on your own device. They are never uploaded to any server.
How to compress an image
- Optional: pick a target size (for example 200 KB) and/or a max width. Type any value in the Custom box.
- Drop your images into the box above, or tap Choose images.
- Download each image, or Download all as a ZIP. Change a setting any time and the images are redone.
Which setting should I use?
A form says “max 200 KB” or “under 500 KB”
Use Target size and pick the matching preset. For an unusual limit, type a number slightly below it in the Custom box (for example 290 for a 300 KB limit).
A site says “at most 1920 pixels wide”
Use Max width. You can combine it with a target size.
You just want smaller files for email or chat
Leave both on No limit and use Quality. Around 75–80 makes phone photos several times smaller with little visible difference.
Frequently asked questions
How do I compress an image to a specific size, like 200 KB?
Pick a size such as 200 KB next to “Target size”, or type any number in the Custom box, then add your images. The tool automatically finds the highest quality that fits under that size. If the photo still cannot fit, it is scaled down a little until it does.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server, so it is private and works fast even for large batches.
How do I resize an image to a smaller width?
Pick a width next to “Max width”, such as 1280, or type your own in the Custom box. Wider images are scaled down to that width and keep their proportions. Images that are already narrower are not enlarged.
What formats are supported?
You can add JPG, PNG, WebP and iPhone HEIC photos. The result is always a JPG, which is the format almost every website and app accepts. Transparent areas in PNG files become white.
Why does it say “kept original”?
If your JPG is already smaller than what you asked for and you did not ask to resize it, re-compressing would only lower the quality, so the original file is kept as it is.
Does compressing remove the photo’s location data?
Yes. The compressed JPG does not include EXIF metadata such as GPS location or camera details.
