Free Image Compressor & Resizer

A free image compressor and resizer that works entirely in your browser — your photos are never uploaded. Drop in a JPEG or PNG, choose a target width and quality, and export a smaller WebP or JPEG. It shows the before/after file size and the percentage saved. This is ideal for compressing Shopify and eCommerce product photos, hero images, and blog images so pages load faster and score better on Core Web Vitals, without a paid plan or a watermark.

How to use image compressor

1. Drag an image onto the drop zone, or click to choose a file (up to 20 MB).
2. Set the maximum width — the image is scaled down proportionally if it is wider.
3. Adjust the quality slider (lower = smaller file, some visible loss around 60%).
4. Choose WebP (smallest, modern) or JPEG (widest compatibility).
5. Click Compress, review the size saved, then Download the optimized file.

Common uses

• Compressing Shopify product images before uploading to keep the store fast

• Resizing a 4000px camera photo down to a 1600px web-ready version
• Getting a hero image under 200 KB to pass PageSpeed / Core Web Vitals checks
• Shrinking screenshots before attaching them to an email or ticket

Frequently asked questions

Is this image compressor free and unlimited?

It is free with no watermark and no account. There is a light fair-use limit on the number of compressions before a quick email prompt; entering an email removes it.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. Compression happens on an HTML canvas inside your browser. The image file never leaves your computer.

WebP or JPEG — which should I choose?

WebP produces noticeably smaller files at the same quality and is supported by all modern browsers, so it is the best default for the web. Choose JPEG if you need a file for an older system or a tool that does not accept WebP.

How much can I compress an image without it looking bad?

For photos, quality around 70–80% usually cuts file size by half or more with no visible difference. Below about 55% you start to see artifacts in smooth gradients and skin tones.

Does it strip EXIF metadata?

Yes. Re-encoding on the canvas drops EXIF data such as GPS location and camera info, which is usually desirable for images published on the web.
