Why Compress Your Images?
Large image files slow down website loading speed, increase storage usage, and hurt Core Web Vitals — which directly affects search rankings. Compressing images keeps pages fast, improves user experience, and makes sharing files quicker over email, chat, or social media, without a noticeable drop in visual quality.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is smart image compression and how is it different from normal compression?
Smart compression tests multiple output formats (WebP, JPEG, PNG) for each image and automatically keeps whichever result is smallest. Normal compressors usually force one format regardless of the image type, which can sometimes make the file bigger instead of smaller.
Will compressing reduce my image quality?
There may be a small, usually unnoticeable quality trade-off at lower compression levels, but the tool always keeps the visually best result available and never sacrifices more quality than needed to actually reduce file size.
Can I compress PNG images with transparency?
Yes. The tool automatically detects transparent backgrounds and compresses using a format that preserves transparency, so your PNG or WebP graphics won't get a solid background added.
What image formats are supported?
JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WebP files are supported for both upload and compressed output.
Is there a limit on file size or number of images?
There's no artificial limit — you can upload multiple images at once. The only practical limit is your device's available memory for very large files.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. All compression happens directly inside your browser using JavaScript, so your images never leave your device.
What compression level should I choose?
70–85% is a good balance between file size and visual quality for most web use. Lower it further for maximum size savings, or raise it if you need higher visual fidelity.
Can I compress the same image multiple times?
Yes, but each additional lossy compression pass can slightly reduce quality further. For the best result, always compress from the original, uncompressed image when possible.
