Compress an Image Online

Whatever size or format you need, our free Image Compressor shrinks photos right in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Pick a guide for a common target below, or type any other kilobyte cap (20 KB, 200 KB, custom) in the tool.

Why compress images?

Smaller image files upload faster, fit within form and email limits, and make web pages load quicker. The trick is cutting bytes without a visible drop in quality, which usually means lowering JPEG quality slightly, or switching to WebP for the same look at a smaller size.

Every guide here uses the same Image Compressor, which runs entirely on your device. Your photos are never sent to a server.
