How It Works

  1. 1

    Upload your large image

    Drop in a JPG, PNG, or WebP file. Camera photos often start at 5–15 MB — the tool will bring them to a web-friendly size automatically.

  2. 2

    Choose your compression level

    Select Light (minimal quality loss), Medium (balanced), or Heavy (maximum size reduction). A side-by-side preview shows the before and after.

  3. 3

    Download the smaller file

    Save the compressed image. The file size is displayed so you can confirm the reduction before downloading.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I reduce an image file size?+
For typical DSLR or smartphone photos, file size can be reduced by 60–80% at 80% quality with no visible difference. A 10 MB photo can become 1–2 MB without any noticeable degradation.
Does reducing file size change the image dimensions?+
No. Compression only affects encoding and quality data — the pixel dimensions (width × height) stay exactly the same unless you also use the resize tool.
What is the best way to reduce image size for email?+
For email, target 300–500 KB. Use 80% quality JPEG compression. If the image needs to be very small (under 100KB), use our Compress Image to 100KB tool.
