Questions and answers

Can I compress a photo to an exact size like 50 KB?
Yes. Set the target in KB and the tool lowers quality and, if needed, size until the picture is under it.
Which picture formats can I compress?
JPG, PNG and WebP pictures. iPhone HEIC photos can be turned into JPG first with the HEIC to JPG page.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Your browser opens and processes the files itself, and nothing is sent to our servers. You can check this yourself on the How we do it page.
Is my original photo changed?
No. You get a new file to download and the original stays where it is. Check the result before you replace anything.
Is Compress image really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many files you use it for.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It works in the browser on phones, tablets and computers. A very large file can be slow on an older phone because everything runs on the device.
