Tips

  • WebP typically offers 25-35% smaller files than JPEG at the same quality
  • AVIF is even smaller but takes longer to encode and has less browser support
  • Resize images to their actual display size for the biggest savings
  • All processing happens in your browser - your images never leave your device

How to Compress Images Without Losing Quality

  1. Drop your images above. You can add one file or a whole batch; JPEG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF are all supported as input.
  2. Pick an output format. WebP is the best default for the web: it is 25-35% smaller than JPEG at the same visual quality and supported by every modern browser. Choose AVIF for maximum savings, JPEG for universal compatibility, or PNG when you need lossless graphics.
  3. Set quality between 75 and 85. This range is visually indistinguishable from the original for photos while cutting file size dramatically. Go lower for thumbnails, higher for hero images.
  4. Resize to the display size. Serving a 4000px camera photo in a 800px-wide layout wastes bandwidth. Resizing is usually a bigger saving than compression itself.
  5. Download individually or as a ZIP. Compare the before/after sizes in the results panel before you commit.

Smaller images directly improve Core Web Vitals, especially Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), which Google uses as a ranking signal. For most sites, image weight is the single largest performance budget item, so optimizing images is the highest-impact speed fix available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. Compression, resizing, cropping, and watermarking all run inside your browser using the Canvas API. Your images never leave your device, which makes this tool safe for confidential documents, client work, and unreleased product photos. There are no file size limits imposed by a server either; the only limit is your device's memory.

WebP or AVIF: which should I choose?

WebP is the practical default: excellent compression, instant encoding, and universal browser support since 2020. AVIF compresses 20-30% smaller still and shines for large photographic images, but it encodes more slowly. If you need to support very old browsers or email clients, stick with JPEG.

How much smaller will my images get?

Typical results: a 3 MB phone photo converts to a 150-400 KB WebP at quality 80 with no visible difference. PNG screenshots with flat colors often shrink 60-80% as WebP. Combining a resize with format conversion regularly cuts total weight by 90% or more.

Does image compression affect SEO?

Yes, positively. Page speed is a confirmed Google ranking factor, and images are usually the heaviest assets on a page. Faster LCP improves both rankings and conversion rates. Just keep quality at 75+ so visual quality stays high, and use descriptive file names and alt text for image search.

Can I process multiple images at once?

Yes. Drop as many files as you like and they are processed as a batch with the same settings, then downloaded together as a single ZIP. This is handy for product catalogs, gallery pages, and blog migrations.

Is EXIF data (location, camera info) removed?

Yes. Because the image is re-encoded through the browser canvas, metadata such as GPS coordinates, camera model, and timestamps is stripped from the output file. That is a privacy bonus when publishing photos online.

How to Convert PNG to WebP

  1. Drop one or more PNG files above.
  2. WebP output is already selected. Quality 80-85 is ideal for most graphics; use 90+ for images with fine text.
  3. Optionally resize at the same time; converting and resizing in one pass keeps quality highest.
  4. Download the .webp files individually or as a ZIP, then swap them into your site.

Serving WebP instead of PNG is one of the quickest Core Web Vitals wins available: same visuals, a fraction of the bytes, faster Largest Contentful Paint.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much smaller is WebP than PNG?

For typical web graphics, 60-80% smaller. A 1.2 MB PNG screenshot commonly converts to a 200-350 KB WebP with no visible difference. For flat-color graphics like logos and UI elements, the savings are often even larger.

Does WebP keep PNG transparency?

Yes. WebP fully supports an alpha channel, so transparent logos, icons, and cutout product photos convert cleanly. This is the main reason to convert PNG to WebP rather than to JPEG, which would flatten the transparency.

Which browsers support WebP in 2026?

All of them: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and their mobile versions have supported WebP for years (Safari was last, in 2020). Unless you need to support very old operating systems, you can serve WebP without a PNG fallback.

When should I NOT convert to WebP?

Keep the PNG when the destination requires it: app store listings, favicons (use ICO/PNG), email newsletters (some clients still lack WebP support), print, and upload forms that only accept JPEG/PNG. For images on your own website, WebP is the safe default.

Is the conversion really private?

Yes. The conversion runs in your browser via the Canvas API; files are never uploaded. There are no server-side limits either, so batches of large PNGs convert as fast as your machine allows.
