How to use Compress Image

- Choose an output format and move the quality slider. 70 to 80 is a good balance.
- Optionally limit the longest side, for example to 1920 pixels.
- Click "Compress image" and download each image or all of them as a ZIP.
Why use Compress Image
- Batch compression
- Process a whole folder of photos at once.
- See the savings
- Original size, new size and percentage saved for every file.

About this tool
Phone cameras produce photos of 3 to 8 MB, far larger than most upload forms allow. Lowering the quality setting slightly and capping the dimensions usually cuts the size by more than half with no visible difference.
Compression happens with your browser's built-in image encoder. WebP usually gives the smallest files and is supported by all modern browsers.
Frequently asked questions
How much smaller will my images get?
Typical phone photos shrink by 50 to 80% at quality 70 to 80, especially when you also limit the size to 1920 or 2560 pixels. For a strict limit in KB, switch to Target file size.
Which format should I use?
JPG works everywhere. WebP is smaller at the same quality and works on all modern browsers and websites. PNG is lossless and best for screenshots with text.
Will transparent PNGs stay transparent?
Yes with WebP or PNG output. JPG does not support transparency, so transparent areas become white.
Is photo metadata removed?
Yes. Compressing re-draws the image, which removes EXIF metadata such as camera details and GPS location.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Everything happens on your device.
Can I compress an image to an exact size like 50 KB or 100 KB?
Yes. Use the compress to a size pages, such as compress image to 50 KB or 100 KB: they find the highest quality that stays under the size you need.
Can I compress an image to 1MB, 2MB or 5MB?
Yes. Type the size limit in KB (1MB is 1024 KB, 2MB is 2048 KB, 5MB is 5120 KB) and it picks the best quality that fits, so you compress without losing visible quality where the limit allows.
Is this an image size reducer in KB?
Yes. Switch to a size in KB, type the limit (300KB, say) and the picture is compressed, and scaled down if it must be, until it fits under it. 20 KB, 50 KB, 100 KB and 200 KB have pages of their own.
Can I set a minimum size too, such as 20 to 50 KB?
Yes. Under Target file size, type the maximum and, in "Minimum size" below it, the smallest size your form accepts. A photo that comes out too small is saved again at a higher quality, and given more pixels only if it needs them; if a picture is too plain to reach the minimum, the tool says so instead of padding the file.
Can I take the photos with my camera?
Yes. On a phone, tap "Take a photo" under the box, take one shot or several, and tap Done to add them to the list. On a computer, "Use the webcam" works the same way. "Use your phone's camera" shows a code instead: scan it with your phone, and each photo you take there arrives here, ready to compress for a form or an email.
Photo size kam kaise kare, photo ka size kaise chhota karen? (How do I reduce a photo's size on my phone?)

Open the page on your phone, choose the photo, type the size you need in KB or move the quality slider, and tap "Compress image". The smaller photo downloads to your phone; nothing is uploaded.
