Image Compressor

What to know before using this tool

Image compression works by re-encoding image data with settings that use fewer bytes. A lower quality setting usually creates a smaller file, while a higher setting keeps more visual detail. The best balance depends on whether the image is a photo, screenshot, graphic or document scan.

For web publishing, smaller images can reduce page weight and make pages easier to load on slower connections. For forms and portals, compression can also help you stay below an upload-size limit without changing the original image stored on your device.

How to use it

1. Choose a JPG, PNG or WebP image from your device.
2. Move the quality slider to choose how strongly the image should be compressed.
3. Select JPG or WebP as the output format.
4. Click Compress Image and compare the original and result sizes.
5. Download the compressed copy when you are satisfied with the result.

Common uses

• Reducing photos before uploading them to a website or blog.
• Making an email attachment smaller.
• Preparing an image for a form with a file-size limit.
• Creating lighter images for mobile pages and online stores.

Tips for better results

• Start near 80% quality for photos, then reduce it gradually if you need a smaller file.
• WebP often produces a smaller web-friendly file than JPG at a similar visual quality.
• Keep your original image in case you later need a higher-quality version.
• If you need a precise limit such as 100KB, use one of Toolora’s target-size image compressors.
