How to compress an image

  1. Choose an image

    Select a JPG, PNG or WebP file from your device, or drag it onto the upload area.

  2. Pick a compression level

    Recommended works well for most photos. Choose Strong for the smallest file, or set your own quality.

  3. Download the result

    Compare the original and compressed sizes, then download your smaller image.

Which format should you choose?

JPG

Best for photos. Supported by almost every website, app and device, but doesn't support transparency.

PNG

Best for screenshots, logos and graphics with sharp edges or transparency. Lossless, so files stay larger.

WebP

A modern format that is usually smaller than JPG at similar quality and supports transparency. Check that the site you're uploading to accepts WebP.

Compression is lossy for JPG and WebP: some detail is discarded to reduce the file size. At the Recommended level the difference is usually hard to notice. Higher compression makes files smaller but can add visible blurring or blockiness, especially around text and fine edges.

Frequently asked questions

Is this image compressor free?

Yes. Pixyro's image compressor is free to use, with no sign-up, no watermarks and no limit on how many images you compress.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. Your image is compressed by your own browser, on your device. It is never uploaded to Pixyro or anyone else.

Will compressing change my image's dimensions?

No. The compressed image keeps the same width and height as the original. Only the file size changes.

Why didn't my PNG get much smaller?

PNG is a lossless format, so re-saving it can't discard detail the way JPG or WebP can. For a much smaller file, convert it to WebP, which keeps transparency, or to JPG if you don't need transparency.

Which compression level should I use?

Recommended works well for most photos and web images. Use Light when quality matters most, and Strong when you need the smallest possible file and can accept some visible quality loss.

What happens to my photo's metadata?

Compressing removes metadata such as camera details and GPS location, which also helps protect your privacy. Colour profiles are removed too, and the image is saved in the standard sRGB colour space.

Is there a file size limit?

You can compress images up to 50 MB and up to 100 megapixels. Large images need a lot of memory, so some phones and older devices may not be able to process the very largest files.
