How to use it
- Drop one or more JPG photos.
- Each is compressed to under 200 KB, keeping its pixel size where possible.
- Download them, or all together as a ZIP.
Compress or resize?
Compressing keeps the photo at the same width and height and stores it with less detail. Resizing makes the photo smaller in pixels. This page compresses first, which is right when a form checks both pixel size and file size.
If a large photo cannot reach 200 KB without heavy blockiness, the tool reduces the dimensions a little and tells you. For the smallest files with the cleanest look, use the resize to 200 KB page instead.
Questions
Will compressing change how the photo looks?
A little. Fine textures and gradients lose some detail. At moderate compression it is hard to see; at very strong compression you will notice blocky areas.
Can I compress PNG files here?
Yes, but they are saved as JPG, because PNG files cannot be made smaller by lowering quality.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. The resizing runs inside your browser with JavaScript, so the image never leaves your device. Once the page has loaded, resizing keeps working even if you go offline.
