Image compression eliminates redundant visual data to create files that load significantly faster. You benefit from reduced storage, quicker uploads, and smoother website performance. Understanding compression helps you balance quality against size when preparing pictures for digital use. It also optimizes user experience on mobile networks where bandwidth is limited.

This application provides an interactive interface for compressing JPEG, PNG, and WebP images directly in your browser. You choose quality, target format, and metadata options, then receive an instant preview. The component calculates size savings and displays new dimensions before download. Your workflow becomes faster because you avoid external editors and uploads.

Use the compressor when preparing gallery thumbnails, newsletter graphics, or attachments. Lower file sizes improve email deliverability and search-engine scores by reducing page weight. Photographers can preserve EXIF data while bloggers can strip it for privacy. You complete optimisation tasks within seconds, saving bandwidth costs for both host and visitor.

Files are processed locally in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

FAQ:

Find quick answers to common questions.

Does compression reduce visual quality?

Minor differences may appear at lower quality settings. Use higher percentages for near-identical visuals.

Why choose WebP?

WebP offers strong compression with transparency support, providing smaller files than PNG or JPEG in most cases.

What happens to animated images?

The tool handles only static images. Animated GIF or WebP frames are flattened into a single frame.

Is there a file size limit?

Processing occurs in memory. Extremely large images may exhaust browser memory; stay below 50 MB for reliability.

Can I batch compress images?

Upload one image at a time. Use browser tabs or repeat the process for multiple files.
