How to compress an image

1. Add your image. Tap the box above and choose a photo, or drag and drop it in. The original size and dimensions appear right away.
2. Pick a quality level. The slider runs from 5% to 100%. Around 75–85% usually cuts a phone photo's size by half or more while it still looks sharp on screen.
3. Choose a format. JPG suits almost every photo. WebP often goes smaller still and is supported by all modern browsers. PNG ignores the quality slider — it is a lossless format, so it shrinks files much less.
4. Check and download. Compare the before and after sizes, glance at the preview, and save your new file. Your original stays untouched on your device.

Compression works by re-saving the picture with less stored detail. Phone cameras record far more detail than screens display, so there is plenty to trim. The trick is balance: too little compression leaves the file large, too much makes faces and fine edges look blocky. If you need a guaranteed maximum size — for example a website that rejects anything over 200 KB — skip the guessing and use one of our fixed-target tools, which test many settings automatically until the file fits. Our guide to compressing an image without losing visible quality explains how to judge that balance before you start.
