How to use the Image Compressor

Upload one image and note its original file size.
Choose JPEG or WebP and set the quality slider.
Optionally lower the maximum width to remove unnecessary pixels.
Generate the preview, compare the original and output byte sizes, then download.

What this tool helps you solve

Large images slow down portfolio galleries, product pages and email attachments. Compress a copy before uploading it, and inspect small text and fine edges to find a useful balance between file size and visible quality.

A practical daily workflow

A high-resolution product photograph rarely needs its full camera resolution in a small blog card. Reduce its width first, then lower quality gradually until the result is lightweight but clear.

Get a better result

Compression is content-dependent. An already optimized file can become larger. The result reports actual bytes and warns when no saving was achieved. JPEG flattens transparency onto the chosen background.

Keep an untouched original and inspect the result at the size your audience will see. If your next step is a new layout, explore free Canva templates. For additional context, read the related design guide or collection.
