Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is Image Compressor free?
Yes, Image Compressor is completely free with no limits.
Q2: What image formats are supported?
JPG, PNG and WebP up to 10MB each. JPG compresses the hardest; PNG is best left for screenshots and logos.
Q3: Will my image quality be affected?
You can control the quality level. Higher quality means larger file size, and vice versa.
Q4: Are my images stored on your servers?
No, your images are processed locally in your browser and are not stored.
How Compression Decides What to Discard
JPEG and WebP are lossy formats: they achieve small files by discarding information the human eye is least likely to notice, particularly fine colour variation. The quality setting controls how aggressive that discarding is. Around quality 80 most photographs are visually indistinguishable from the original at roughly a third of the size.
Where compression becomes visible is around hard edges, especially text and flat graphics. Screenshots and logos develop halos and blocky artefacts far sooner than photographs, which is why those belong in PNG or WebP rather than heavily compressed JPEG.
Compression is not reversible. Each save discards information permanently, so repeatedly compressing an already-compressed file accumulates damage. Always work from the highest-quality original you have.
Getting Web Pages Genuinely Faster
Resizing usually beats compressing. Serving a 4000-pixel-wide photo into a container 800 pixels wide wastes most of the download regardless of quality setting. Set actual pixel dimensions to what the layout needs first, then compress.
Images are typically the largest part of a page's weight, so this is often the single highest-return performance change available. Cutting a two-megabyte hero image to two hundred kilobytes has more effect on mobile load time than most code-level optimisation.
This tool processes files entirely in your browser, so nothing is uploaded and there is no queue or file-size limit imposed by a server. The practical ceiling is your device's available memory.
