Image compression makes files smaller so pages load faster and uploads finish sooner. The trick is keeping the image sharp enough.

Compress an image (step by step)

  1. Open Image Compressor.
  2. Upload your image.
  3. Pick a quality preset.
  4. Download the compressed file.
  5. Compare the result at 100% zoom.

The best workflow

  • Resize first, then compress. Huge images waste space.
  • For photos, a medium quality setting is usually enough.
  • For screenshots with text, use PNG or a higher quality setting.

Quick checks before you share

  • Text is readable at normal zoom.
  • Faces do not look “smudged”.
  • The file size fits your upload limits.
