Image Compressor

Free, and built around the number that actually matters: compress to 20KB, 50KB, 100KB, 200KB, 1MB or any target you type in — not just a quality slider. In your browser, nothing uploaded, no watermark.

Drop images here

or choose them from your device. JPG, PNG and WebP — one or many at once.

Your images never leave this device. Compression happens in your browser.

Most compressors give you a quality slider and leave you to guess. That works when you just want "smaller," but it is the wrong tool when a government portal says photos must be under 100KB, a job application caps uploads at 200KB, or an email attachment has to fit under 1MB with three other files. Those are exact numbers, not vibes — so this tool takes the number directly and searches for the setting that hits it.

It tries quality first, since that costs nothing in pixel terms. Only if the image still will not fit at the lowest usable quality does it reduce the dimensions, and it tells you when that happens. If you would rather just eyeball it, the quality mode is still here — drag the slider, watch the size update, done.

Nothing is uploaded. Every image is resized and re-encoded entirely inside your browser — the file never leaves your device. That matters for the kind of images people compress under deadline pressure: ID photos, passport scans, screenshots with account details still visible. Once the page has loaded it works offline.

How to compress an image to a target size

  1. 1. Add your images

    Drag them onto the drop zone or choose from your device. Compress one image or a whole batch at once — nothing is uploaded.

  2. 2. Pick a target size, or a quality level

    Choose 20KB, 50KB, 100KB, 200KB, 500KB, 1MB, or type your own number in KB. Prefer to judge it by eye instead? Switch to the quality slider.

  3. 3. Choose a format

    JPG for the smallest files, PNG for lossless output, WebP for the best compression of the three. Each image keeps its own dimensions unless you set a maximum.

  4. 4. Compress and download

    Press Compress. Each image shows its before-and-after size and the percentage saved. Download one at a time or the whole batch as a ZIP.

Common targets

These come up often enough to have their own preset button.

Frequently asked questions

How do I compress an image for free? +

Drop the image above, choose a target size or a quality level, and press Compress. There is no account, no batch limit and no watermark — the file is never uploaded, and compression happens entirely in your browser.

How do I compress an image to exactly 100KB, 50KB or another size? +

Choose "A target file size" mode, pick the preset closest to what you need — 20KB, 50KB, 100KB, 200KB, 500KB or 1MB — or type your own number in the Custom field. The tool searches for the quality setting that lands at or just under that size, and if the image still will not fit at the lowest usable quality, it reduces the pixel dimensions and searches again. This is the setting most upload forms, application portals and ID photo requirements actually specify.

Why can I not hit my target exactly with PNG? +

PNG is lossless — it has no quality dial, so there is nothing to trade away to shrink a PNG at the same pixel dimensions the way JPEG or WebP can. To reach a target size, a PNG has to be reduced in width and height instead. If you need lossy compression at a specific byte target, choose JPG or WebP.

What is the difference between JPG, PNG and WebP here? +

JPG produces the smallest files for photographs and is accepted everywhere. PNG is lossless — every pixel kept exactly, useful for screenshots, logos and line art, at the cost of larger files. WebP compresses better than both at the same visual quality and is supported by all current browsers, though a small number of older tools do not open it.

Can I compress several images at once? +

Yes. Drop or select as many as you like and they queue up together. Each is compressed to the same target size or quality setting, one at a time, and you can download them individually or as a single ZIP.

Will compressing reduce the image quality? +

A target-size or quality reduction does trade away some detail — that is what makes the file smaller. The tool searches for the highest quality that still meets your target, so the loss is the minimum needed rather than an arbitrary cut. At typical web and form-upload sizes (100KB–500KB for a normal photo) the difference is rarely visible at normal viewing size.

What does "Max dimension" do in quality mode? +

It caps the longest side of the image in pixels, scaling the other side to match. Useful when a smaller file matters less than a specific resolution limit — many upload forms cap both file size and pixel dimensions separately.

Are my images uploaded anywhere? +

No. Every image is read, resized and re-encoded entirely inside your browser. Nothing is transmitted. That makes it safe for anything you would not upload to an unknown server — ID photos, private documents scanned as images, screenshots containing personal data.

Is there a limit on how many images or how large they can be? +

No fixed limit. Images are processed one at a time, so a large batch is a matter of time rather than a wall. The practical ceiling is your device's memory on very large source photos.

Will there be a watermark on the compressed images? +

No. The output is your image at a smaller size, nothing added. There is no watermark, no badge, and no paid tier that removes one.
