About Image Compressor

Image Compressor reduces the file size of images by re-encoding them at a lower quality level. All compression happens locally in the browser using the Canvas API. Your images are never sent to a server, which is important for private or sensitive photos.

You can adjust the quality slider to find the best balance between file size and visual quality. For most use cases, 70–85% quality is indistinguishable from the original at a fraction of the size. The tool shows you the before and after file sizes so you can make an informed choice.

Note that PNG is a lossless format. Converting a PNG through this tool exports it as a JPEG to achieve compression. If you need a lossless compressed PNG, a specialised tool like pngquant produces better results.
