Compress Image Online

Not every situation calls for hitting an exact file size. Sometimes you just want a lighter file — a photo that loads faster, takes up less storage, or attaches more easily — without a form telling you it has to be exactly 100KB or 1MB. That’s what this tool is for: compression driven by quality and format, not a fixed number.

How Compressing Is Different From Targeting a Size

The Reduce Image Size tools on this site work backward from a number — you tell it 100KB or 1MB, and it adjusts quality and dimensions until it gets there. Compress Image works forward instead: you set the quality level (or let it pick a sensible default), and the file size is whatever comes out the other end. If you don’t know or don’t care about the exact resulting number, and just want the file smaller, this is the more direct route.

How to Compress an Image

1. Upload your image — JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, or HEIC.
2. Adjust the quality slider — higher keeps more detail, lower produces a smaller file.
3. Optionally resize dimensions or choose a different output format.
4. Download.

Choose Your Format

Different formats compress differently enough that it’s worth picking the right page for what you’re working with:

• Compress JPG — the most common photo format, and usually the biggest file-size win for typical photos
• Compress PNG — best when transparency matters, though PNGs need a different approach than JPG since they’re not adjusted the same way
• Compress WebP — a modern format that’s often smaller than JPG or PNG at the same visual quality to begin with

When You Actually Need an Exact Size Instead

If a form, portal, or upload field has told you a specific KB or MB limit, you’ll get there faster with a target-size tool rather than adjusting quality by trial and error here. See the Reduce Image Size in KB hub or the Reduce Image Size in MB hub.
