Why image files are bigger than they need to be
Cameras, phones and screenshot tools often save images at settings tuned for archival quality, not for sharing — which leaves a lot of file size on the table for everyday use.

Three steps to a smaller file
How to reduce a file size in three steps
Add the image, choose an output format and quality, then compare the new size against the original in the preview before downloading — the whole process happens locally in your browser.
How much smaller can I make my image without it looking worse?
For most photos, a moderate quality setting around 75-85 reduces the file size substantially while remaining visually close to the original at normal viewing sizes.
FAQ
Reduce image file size FAQ
Is there a limit to how many images I can compress for free?
No — there is no account, quota or watermark. The tool runs locally, so you can reduce as many files as you need.
Can I compress multiple images at once?
Yes — select a batch of files, apply one setting, and download the results individually or as a zip.
Does compressing an image change its dimensions?
No — only the file encoding changes. If you also need smaller pixel dimensions, use Resize, ideally before compressing.
Will compressing my image remove the EXIF or location data?
Not reliably — some metadata can be dropped during re-encoding, but for a guaranteed clean file use Strip Metadata as a separate step.
