Image compression guide
Use this tool when the picture already has the right crop and dimensions, but the file is too heavy for a website, CMS, email, marketplace, or client handoff.
How it works
The browser decodes the image, draws it to a canvas, then exports a new JPG, WebP, AVIF, or PNG using the quality and format you choose.
Supported formats
Input depends on browser support and can include JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP, and TIFF. Output options are JPG, WebP, AVIF, and PNG.
Privacy and limits
Files are processed in this browser session. Very large images can still be limited by device memory, browser decoding support, or canvas export support.
Common issues
- PNG is lossless, so it may not shrink much compared with JPG, WebP, or AVIF.
- Transparent images should usually stay PNG or WebP to avoid a solid background.
- If the image is physically too large, resize first instead of only lowering quality.
Next step
If the dimensions are still too large, use Image Resize & Convert. If the framing is wrong, use Image Crop before compressing again.
When this becomes repeat work
Need framing, dimensions, and compression in one pass?
Image Compress stays right for one quick size reduction. Use Image Prep when the same delivery job also needs crop, resize, format choice, and one guided export path.
Example image compression jobs
Store product photo: resize the image to the storefront display size first, then compress to WebP or JPG so the product page loads faster without wasting pixels.
Support screenshot: keep the screenshot readable, lower quality only enough to fit chat or email limits, and avoid PNG if the file is mostly photographic.
Blog graphic: compress after the final crop and dimensions are set. If the image still feels too heavy, reduce physical dimensions before lowering quality again.
Before you export an image
Check framing first, then dimensions, then file weight. A smaller image is not automatically better if it loses the detail the destination needs. For product images, thumbnails, and social posts, compare the exported file at the size where it will actually appear.
If an upload limit is the main problem, reduce dimensions before lowering quality. If visual clarity is the main problem, keep the quality higher and change the format only after reviewing the preview. For ecommerce and portfolio images, consistent dimensions usually matter as much as raw file size.
- Crop before resizing when the frame is wrong.
- Resize before compressing when the source is much larger than needed.
- Keep an original copy so you can re-export with a different format or quality setting.
After downloading the result, open it once before using it in a client send, upload form, website, or archive. This final check catches format support issues, unexpected file size changes, missing characters, clipped media, or page-order mistakes while the original file is still available.
If the output will be reused, note the settings that produced it. That makes the next export easier to repeat and reduces guesswork when another file needs the same treatment.
