Image Compressor

1. Add your picture. Drop it in the box, choose it from your device or paste it.
2. Choose Set an exact size, or tap a quick setting such as Under 50 KB.
3. Type the size and pick KB or MB. The tool lowers the quality step by step until the file fits.
4. If the picture still does not fit, it is made a little smaller in pixels, and a note shows you what happened.
5. Check it with the before and after view, then download. The file is at or under the size you typed.

1. Use the Balanced or High quality setting. Quality 75 to 85 is hard to tell from the original on most photos.
2. Set Longest side to the size you really need. A picture shown at 800 px wide does not need 4000 px.
3. Do not compress the same JPG again and again. Each pass loses a little more. Start from the original.
4. Open the before and after view and zoom in on faces, text and edges before you download.

1. Drop up to 100 pictures into the box, or add more later with Add more.
2. Choose one setting. It is applied to every picture.
3. Wait for the list to finish. Each row shows the old size, the new size and how much you saved.
4. Download one picture with its button, or choose Download all (ZIP).

1. Make the picture no wider than it is shown. Most blog and shop pictures work well at 1200 to 1600 px wide.
2. Use quality 70 to 80 for photos. Use PNG only for logos, screenshots and graphics that need sharp edges or transparency.
3. Try WebP. It is usually smaller than JPG at a similar look, and current browsers support it.
4. Aim for a few hundred KB at most for a large picture, and much less for small ones. Large pictures are a common cause of slow pages.

1. Open this page in your phone browser.
2. Tap Choose images, then pick from Photos or Files, or take a new picture.
3. Pick a quick setting and wait a few seconds.
4. Tap Download. On iPhone the file goes to the Files app (Downloads). On Android it goes to Downloads.

Yes. You can compress as many pictures as you like without paying, without an account and without a watermark. The files you download are yours to use for personal or business purposes. A small advertisement on the page helps to cover the cost.

Yes. Image compressor, photo compressor, picture compressor, image optimizer and image size reducer all describe a tool that makes the file of a picture smaller. Some people also call it a JPG compressor or a PNG compressor, depending on the format.

Drop your picture in the box, or choose it from your device. Pick a quick setting such as Balanced, or choose an exact size such as 100 KB. The compressed picture appears in a second or two, with the old and new size. Check it with the before and after view and download it.

Choose Set an exact size, type the size and pick KB or MB, or tap a quick setting such as Under 50 KB. The tool lowers the quality step by step until the file is at or under your size. If a very small size cannot be reached with quality alone, it also makes the picture a little smaller in pixels. A note on the row tells you when that happened.

Your size is a limit, not a target to hit exactly. The tool keeps the best quality that still fits under it, so the file can be somewhat below your number. That is what upload forms need, because they reject anything over the limit.

JPG, WebP and the PNG palette method are lossy, so some detail is always lost. At a moderate setting, such as quality 75, the change is hard to see on most photos and the file is much smaller. At very small sizes the loss shows. Use the before and after view to check, and keep your original.

Quality 75 is a good start for photos: the file is much smaller and the picture still looks clean. Use 85 to 90 when detail matters, and 55 to 65 when you need the smallest file. Below about 50, blocks and blur start to show.

No. The pictures are compressed in your browser, on your own device. They are never sent to FileXL or anyone else, and nothing is saved. Close the page and they are gone.

JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF and BMP. GIF and BMP are saved as a new JPG or PNG. An animated GIF becomes a single still picture. Your browser may also open AVIF or HEIC pictures if it supports them, and the result is saved as JPG or PNG.

PNG has no quality slider, so the tool reduces the number of colors to a palette of up to 256 and then writes a tighter PNG file. This works very well for logos, screenshots and graphics. Photos in PNG form shrink most when you save them as JPG or WebP instead. Transparency is kept.

Yes, for PNG and WebP output. JPG cannot be see-through, so if you force the JPG format on a transparent picture, the see-through areas become white.

For websites, usually yes. Google reports that lossy WebP files are about 25 to 34 percent smaller than JPG at a similar quality. Use JPG when you need to open the file in older programs or upload it to a form that only accepts JPG.

Yes. Add up to 100 pictures, up to 100 MB each. The same setting is applied to all of them, and you can download them one by one or as a single ZIP file.

Yes, for every picture that is compressed. It is written fresh, so hidden camera data such as the GPS location, the date and the phone model is not copied over. The picture still turns the right way up, because the tool applies its rotation before saving. One exception: a picture that is already under your size limit, or that cannot be made smaller, is returned as it is, with its hidden data. A note on its row tells you.

You can set the longest side, for example 1600 px, and the picture keeps its shape. For exact dimensions such as 600 x 600, use the Photo Resizer on FileXL, then compress the result here.

Make them no wider than they are shown on the page, often 1200 to 1600 px, and use quality 70 to 80 for photos. Keep large pictures to a few hundred KB. Google advises compressing and resizing images because large ones are often the biggest cause of slow page loads.

Usually, yes. The main picture on a page is often what decides the Largest Contentful Paint, and Google calls 2.5 seconds or less good. A smaller picture downloads sooner, so it helps you stay within that.

You can, but each lossy pass removes a little more detail. It is better to start from the original and pick the setting you want once.

Yes. Open this page in Safari, Chrome or another current browser, choose your pictures from the photo library or the camera, and download the result. Very large photos on older phones can run into the memory limit of the browser. If that happens, pick a smaller longest side.

Up to 100 pictures at a time, each up to 100 MB. Very large pictures, over about 100 megapixels, may not open in some phone browsers.

Yes. Because the work is done in your browser, an ID photo, a signature or a private picture is never uploaded. You can check this by turning off your internet connection after the page has loaded: it still works.

No. The tool uses the standard image encoders that are built into your browser for JPG and WebP, and a classic color reduction method for PNG. There is no AI model and no server involved.
