⚡ Quick answer

Big photos are slow to send and many forms accept only small files. This tool makes them smaller and still sharp.

Open Compress Image, follow the steps below, and you are done in a minute or two. No sign-in is needed.

📋 How to use Compress Image – step by step

  1. Click, drag and drop, or paste one or many images
  2. Choose the quality, or type a target size in KB (for example 100)
  3. Optionally choose a smaller biggest side, like 1920 px
  4. Click "Compress Images" and download the result, or all as a ZIP

💡 Why use this tool?

Application forms, job portals and government sites often say "photo under 100 KB". Type that number here and the tool finds the best quality that fits.

Everything happens in your browser. Your photos never leave your phone or computer, so private pictures stay private.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Is my photo uploaded?

No. Compression happens inside your browser.

How do I make a photo under 100 KB?

Type 100 in "Target size in KB" and choose JPG. The tool tries different qualities and, if needed, reduces the size a little.

Why did a PNG not get much smaller?

PNG is lossless. To make it really small, choose JPG or WebP in "Save as". Pictures with see-through parts get a white background in JPG.

Will the quality go down?

A little, when the quality is below 100%. At 60–80% most photos look the same to the eye.

Does it remove EXIF data like location?

Yes. The new file is drawn again, so camera and location data are not kept.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free, with no limit.
