Compress Image

Smart Image Compression

Big images slow down websites. It's that simple. Our Image Compressor shrinks your JPG, PNG, and WebP files by up to 90% without turning them into a blurry mess. It's perfect for speeding up your website, saving phone storage, or just getting under that annoying email attachment limit.

Best of all? It happens right here in your browser. Your photos are never uploaded to a server, so your privacy is 100% guaranteed.

Why Compress Images?

Nobody likes waiting for a slow page to load. Compressing images is the single most effective way to speed up your site:

Faster Website Loading

Smaller images load faster, reducing page load time and improving user experience. Studies show 53% of mobile users abandon sites that take over 3 seconds to load.

Better SEO Rankings

Google uses page speed as a ranking factor. Compressed images improve Core Web Vitals scores, boosting your search rankings.

Reduced Bandwidth Costs

Smaller files mean less bandwidth usage, reducing hosting costs and data consumption for mobile users.

Improved User Experience

Fast-loading images create smoother browsing experiences, increasing engagement and reducing bounce rates.
