How this calculator works

An image compressor shrinks a photo file so it uploads faster, fits an attachment limit, or loads quicker on a web page. This tool does the whole job inside your browser: drop in JPG, PNG or WebP files, pick a quality level and a maximum width and height, and download the smaller versions. Nothing is uploaded to a server, which matters for personal photos, ID scans and client work, and it also means there is no queue, no watermark and no daily limit.

Two controls decide the result. Quality is the big lever for photos: JPEG at 80 to 85 percent looks the same as the original on screen while cutting the file to a fraction of its size, and WebP goes smaller still in browsers that support it. Resizing is the second lever: a 4000 pixel phone photo displayed at 800 pixels wide is carrying five times the pixels it needs, so setting a maximum dimension often shrinks the file more than any quality tweak. PNG is lossless, so it stays large for photos; it is the right choice only for screenshots, logos and graphics with flat colors.

The target size mode is built for the exact problem job and exam portals create: a form that rejects anything over 100 KB. Pick the target and the tool searches quality levels, then scales the image down step by step, until the file fits, and tells you plainly when even the smallest settings cannot reach it. Batch mode compresses a whole folder of photos at once, so a set of product shots or a scanned document pack is done in one pass.

Frequently asked questions

How do I compress an image to under 100 KB?
Choose the "Under 100 KB" target, drop in your image, and compress. The tool tries lower quality levels first, then scales the image down until it fits, and reports whether the target was reached. Starting from a phone photo, 100 KB is usually reachable without visible damage.
Will compressing reduce the visible quality?
At 80 to 85 percent JPEG quality, almost never on screen: the differences are below what most eyes notice. Below 60 percent, gradients and fine text start to show artifacts, so stay above that for photos you care about. The tool always shows the before and after sizes so you can judge the trade-off.
JPEG, PNG or WebP: which output format should I pick?
JPEG for photos (smallest widely compatible files), WebP for the smallest files when the destination supports it (most websites and modern apps do), PNG only for screenshots, logos and graphics with sharp edges or transparency, since PNG stays large for photos.
Why does resizing shrink the file more than lowering quality?
File size scales with pixel count. Halving both dimensions quarters the pixels, so a 4000 pixel photo resized to 2000 pixels is roughly a quarter of the data before quality even enters the picture. Resize first, then tune quality.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. Compression runs on your device with the Canvas API. Files never leave your browser, are never stored on a server, and are never seen by anyone else.
Can I compress many images at once?
Yes. Drop in a whole batch, set one quality and size policy, and download each compressed file, or use Download all to grab the set in one go.
