Image Compressor

Compress static JPEG, PNG, or WebP images online by adjusting quality levels and output formats.

Run tool

The Image Compressor tool processes static digital images to adjust their file size and format. You can upload an image file and select an output format among JPEG, PNG, or WebP. When converting to JPEG or WebP, you can configure the compression level with a quality setting from 1 to 95, where the default value is 70. For PNG output, standard lossless encoding applies and the quality slider is not used. If your source file includes orientation tags, the tool adjusts the image orientation before stripping embedded metadata such as EXIF data. Converting transparent graphics to JPEG automatically places the image content over a solid white background. Note that animated graphics are not supported and will be rejected during validation. After processing finishes, the tool provides the encoded image along with the processed pixel dimensions, initial and final byte counts, and the calculated size difference percentage rounded to one decimal place.

Instructions

  1. Select or upload a static image file in JPEG, PNG, or WebP format.
  2. Choose your desired output format from the available options.
  3. Adjust the quality setting between 1 and 95 if converting to JPEG or WebP.
  4. Click the run button to compress the image.
  5. Inspect the resulting byte counts, image dimensions, and save the compressed file.

Examples

  • Compressing a high-resolution 4000x3000 JPEG photo using quality 75 and JPEG format to reduce byte size while retaining crisp details.
  • Converting a transparent PNG graphic to WebP format with quality 65 to optimize file size for web delivery.

FAQ

Which image formats are supported?

The tool accepts static image files and converts them into JPEG, PNG, or WebP formats. Animated files such as animated GIFs or animated WebP images are not supported.

Does the quality setting affect PNG files?

No. The quality setting applies only when exporting to JPEG or WebP. PNG output uses standard lossless compression.

What happens to image metadata during compression?

Orientation adjustments are applied first, and then source metadata (such as EXIF, comments, and color profiles) is stripped from the final output image.

How is transparency handled when converting to JPEG?

Because the JPEG format does not support transparency, any transparent areas in the input image are automatically rendered against a solid white background.
