What does image compressor do?
Compress a batch of browser-readable images toward a specific size limit and export each result as WebP or JPEG. The compressor first searches for the best quality that fits, then reduces pixel dimensions when quality alone cannot reach the target.

A practical tip
For photographs, WebP or JPEG usually reaches small targets with better visual quality than PNG.
When to use image compressor
Prepare several photos for a form that rejects files larger than a stated KB limit.
Reduce a group of product images before adding them to a web page or email campaign.
Cap the long edge of oversized camera photos while optimizing their download size.
Worked example
A concrete image compressor example
- Input
- Three 4032 × 3024 JPEG photos, each smaller than 50 MB.
- Settings
- Target 200 KB per image, WebP output, maximum long edge 4096 px.
- Result
- Up to three WebP downloads, each at or below 200 KB when that target is achievable. If it is not, the tool reports that the requested target is too small instead of claiming a false result.
What to expect
How it works
Each image is decoded into a canvas and initially limited by the chosen maximum long edge. The tool tests WebP or JPEG quality values between 4% and 96%. If even the lowest tested quality is too large, it scales both dimensions down and tries again, returning the highest tested quality that stays within the byte target.
Know before using
Limits and edge cases
- A very small target may be impossible without reducing an image below a useful size; the process stops and asks for a larger target rather than exceeding it.
- Compression is a new pixel encoding, so animation, EXIF data, embedded color profiles, and previously discarded image detail are not preserved.
Common questions
Image compressor FAQ
Is image compressor free to use?
Yes. Image compressor is free to use.
Does image compressor keep my work private?
Yes. Your work stays private while you use the tool — nothing you enter is uploaded.
Will exact-target compression change my image dimensions?
It can. Images larger than the maximum long edge are reduced immediately, and any image may be downscaled if lowering JPEG or WebP quality is not enough to meet the selected KB target.
Why is PNG not an exact-target output option?
This workflow needs a continuously adjustable lossy-quality control, so it produces WebP or JPEG. Use the image converter when a lossless PNG result matters more than a strict byte ceiling.
