Image Compressor — Reduce Image Size from MB to KB
Compress JPG, PNG and WEBP images online, shrinking file size from MB to KB while keeping visual quality — done entirely in your browser.
Your image is processed locally and never uploaded to any server.
How to Use the Image Compressor
- Upload an image by clicking the box or dragging a file onto it.
- Use the Quality slider to balance file size against visual quality — lower values produce smaller files.
- Compare the original and compressed file sizes shown below each preview.
- Click Download Compressed Image once you're happy with the result.
How It Works
This tool draws your image onto an HTML5 canvas inside your browser, then re-encodes it as a JPEG at the quality level you choose. Reducing quality slightly lowers image detail in a way that's usually invisible to the eye, while significantly shrinking file size — useful for websites, email attachments, or saving storage space.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I compress an image from MB to KB? Upload your image and move the Quality slider down — most photos in the 2-5 MB range can be compressed to under 200 KB while still looking sharp, which is exactly what most upload forms, job portals, and government websites require.
Can I compress a photo to a specific size like 50KB or 100KB? There's no direct "target size" input, but you can watch the live compressed size shown below the preview and adjust the quality slider until it's under the limit you need — for example, under 100 KB for exam form uploads.
Will compressing reduce image dimensions? No, only file size is affected — width and height stay the same unless you use the Image Resizer tool separately.
What's a good quality setting? 70–85% usually gives a strong balance between size and visual quality for most photos, typically shrinking a multi-MB photo down to a few hundred KB.
Does this support PNG transparency? The compressed output is saved as JPEG, which does not support transparency — use the Image Resizer tool if you need to keep a PNG format.
