§02 · Procedure
How image compression works.
Three steps. None of them involve a server.
- Step 01 1
Drop your images.
Add one photo or a batch. The files stay in this browser tab; there is no upload step or server-side processing.
- Step 02 2
Choose the trade-off.
Pick a quick recipe or set your own quality and longest-edge limit. Larger photos can save dramatically when downscaled for screens.
- Step 03 3
Download the smaller files.
One compressed image downloads directly. A batch is packed into a zip locally, ready to send or upload wherever you need it.
Does image compression upload my files?
No. This compressor uses Canvas inside your browser tab. The site is static and has no backend upload endpoint.
What do the compression recipes do?
Light preserves more detail. Balanced is a strong everyday setting. Small and Ruthless reduce quality and cap the longest edge, which produces much smaller files for email and chat.
Should I choose JPG or WebP?
JPG is the safest choice when the recipient or service needs broad compatibility. WebP is usually smaller and can preserve transparency, but some older apps do not accept it.
Can I compress a whole batch?
Yes. Add as many images as your browser memory can handle. Results download together in a zip file.
Can I compress iPhone HEIC photos?
Yes. HEIC and HEIF images decode locally with libheif, then export as JPG or WebP in your browser.
Will the compressed files retain metadata?
No. Exporting creates fresh images and removes EXIF metadata such as location, camera model and timestamp.
