Compress JPG, PNG, WebP in your browser. Target size mode hits 20/50/100/200 KB for govt-form uploads. Batch, resize, convert format: files stay on your device.
Who Uses Compress Images
Compress Image is the everyday fix when an upload form rejects your photo because it's too big. Who uses it: - **Exam & govt forms**: fit passport photos under the 20–50 KB cap on UPSC / SSC / banking / IELTS portals. - **Sellers**: shrink product images for Amazon / Flipkart catalogue uploads. - **Web teams**: compress hero banners to hit Core Web Vitals targets. - **Social media**: batch-compress campaign visuals before scheduling. - **KYC uploads**: keep bank statements and ID scans under email or portal attachment limits. Because everything runs locally in the browser, sensitive uploads (Aadhaar copies, salary slips, ID cards) never touch a server.
Compress Images Features
- 100% private: Compression runs in your browser with a canvas, so your images are not uploaded. Safe for personal photos and KYC scans.
- Live before / after: Compare original and compressed side-by-side with a draggable slider. Tweak quality and the result updates in real time.
- Batch + ZIP: Drop a whole folder of images at once. Download individually or grab all of them as a single ZIP archive.
- Target size mode: Pick 20, 50, 100 or 200 KB and the tool searches for the highest quality that fits under that cap, and shrinks the pixels if it must. Built for form uploads with a KB limit.
- Format + resize: Convert to JPEG, PNG, or WebP on the fly, optionally resize to fixed dimensions. EXIF metadata is stripped automatically for privacy.
How to Use Compress Images
Four steps, no watermark.
- Drop your images: Drag and drop JPG, PNG, or WebP files. Add as many as you need - up to 100 MB each.
- Pick mode + preset: Use 'By quality' (slider + presets) or 'Target size' (20/50/100/200 KB) for govt-form uploads.
- Compress: Images compress several at a time with a live progress bar. Inspect the before/after slider on any one of them.
- Download: Save individually or grab everything as a single ZIP.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much smaller will my image be?
Typical reductions: 50-80% smaller for JPEGs, 30-60% for PNGs. WebP often beats both. The exact savings depend on the image content (photos compress more than illustrations) and the quality preset you pick.
Will my image lose quality?
Quality is your call. "Max compress" (40%) trades the most quality for the smallest file. "Web optimized" (75%) is the sweet spot for most uses. "High quality" (90%) keeps images sharp for printing or detailed work.
Can I compress an image to a specific size like 100 KB or 50 KB?
Yes: switch to "Target size" mode and pick 20 / 50 / 100 / 200 KB (or set a custom KB). The tool binary-searches JPEG quality to find the highest setting whose output fits under your cap, so you get the best-looking image that still meets the upload limit. Perfect for UPSC / SSC / banking / IELTS form caps. (PNG ignores quality, so target-size only works for JPEG and WebP.)
Can I convert between formats?
Yes. Drop a JPG and pick PNG output, or drop a PNG and pick WebP. The conversion happens during compression, so you always get the smaller file.
Does it resize images too?
Yes. Toggle "Resize images" and enter a width or height in pixels. With "Maintain aspect ratio" on, you can leave one dimension empty and the other fills automatically.
What about EXIF / metadata?
When an image is re-encoded, the new file is drawn from its pixels, so camera info, GPS coordinates and capture times are not copied into it. If compressing can't make a file smaller, or it is already under your KB target in the same format, you get your original back unchanged, metadata included.
Is my image data safe?
Yes. Compression runs entirely in your browser using the canvas API - your photos, their metadata, and the compressed output never leave your device. Safe for sensitive content like passport photos, ID scans, KYC documents, and screenshots.
What's the maximum file size per image?
100 MB per image. The cap exists because everything runs in your browser - much bigger files can stress your device's memory while the canvas processes them.
