About this tool
Large images are the most common reason web pages load slowly. A photo straight from a phone camera is often 3–8 MB and 4,000 pixels wide, many times what a page needs. This tool re-encodes each image at the quality you choose. It can also scale the image down at the same time, which usually saves more than lowering quality.
WebP usually produces the smallest files at the same visual quality and is supported by all current browsers. JPEG is the safest choice for email attachments and older software. PNG files are re-encoded losslessly, so they shrink less. Converting a PNG photo or screenshot to WebP often cuts its size by more than half.
If a compressed file comes out larger than the original (this happens with images that were already well optimised), the tool tells you, and you can keep the original.
Good to know
- Up to 30 images at a time, 30 MB and 50 megapixels each.
- Animated GIFs become a single still frame.
- Photo metadata (camera, location) is removed from compressed files.
- HEIC photos from iPhones are not supported by most browsers. Export them as JPEG first.
- Colour profiles other than sRGB are converted to sRGB.
