Image Compressor
Compress JPG images to reduce file size while balancing quality.
An image compressor reduces an image's file size by re-encoding it at a lower quality setting, helping pages load faster without a visible loss in quality.
How to Use the Image Compressor
- Upload an image. Choose a JPG or PNG image from your device.
- Adjust quality. Drag the quality slider to balance size and clarity.
- Download the result. Compare before/after sizes and download the compressed image.

What Is Image Compressor?
Compressing images reduces their file size, which speeds up page loads and improves Core Web Vitals without requiring a different format.
What is image compression?
It reduces file size by removing or approximating visual detail. This tool re-encodes to JPEG at a chosen quality, which is a lossy method that trades quality for size.
Why compress images?
Images are often the largest assets on a page. Smaller files load faster, use less bandwidth and improve user experience and SEO metrics like LCP.
Choosing a quality level
A quality of 70–80% usually looks close to the original while cutting size significantly. Very low quality introduces visible artifacts like blocking.
