Image Compressor

Shrinks images while keeping their original format. Optimises JPG, PNG and WebP files without changing the file type.

What it does

Use this to make high-resolution photos web-ready, shrink files for email attachments, or quickly downsize thousands of phone-camera images. To change format, use Image Converter instead.

How to use

Drag images into the list. Adding a folder queues every image inside it.
Adjust the Image Quality slider (default 75%).
Tick Strip Metadata for privacy.
Set Maximum Width to cap large dimensions.
Click Run.

You get one smaller copy per input, in the same format.

Settings

Image Quality (10-100): Lower means smaller file with some loss. 70-80% is visually indistinguishable but cuts size by up to 80%.
Strip Metadata (EXIF/GPS): Removes location, capture date, camera model. Recommended for privacy before social media uploads.
Lossless Compression: Shrinks the file as much as possible without any quality loss. Makes sense for PNG.
Maximum Width: Caps the longest edge at the pixel count you set. A 4000px photo becomes 1920px. Useful for phone photos.

Examples

Website-ready photos: Add the photos, quality 80%, Max Width 1920, run. Fast-loading but still sharp.

Email-friendly sizes: Add the images, quality 70%, Max Width 1280, run. Files fit under mail size limits.

Privacy cleanup for social media: Add the images, quality 85%, Strip Metadata on, run. Location and time data are wiped.

Archive a phone gallery: Add the folder, quality 75%, Max Width 2560, run. Every photo is archived at roughly half the size.

Watch out

The format does not change, JPG stays JPG. Use Image Converter to change format.
Very low quality (below 30%) shows visible artefacts.
Lossless mode helps on PNG, JPG already uses lossy compression.
Once EXIF is stripped it is gone for good. Back up first if you care about it.
Maximum Width does not upscale small images, only shrinks the big ones.

Free tier has a monthly compression cap. Office plan removes it.
