Compress your image
Drop an image and get a smaller file back in seconds, with the quality kept high. No settings, no software.
Talk to your files
Anything that used to take five menus and three export dialogs is now one sentence in the chat. Watch it work:
Built for how you actually work
One assistant instead of a dozen single-purpose converter sites.
Every format in one place
Images, documents, video, audio and data — 50+ formats handled by one chat, with a dedicated page for every conversion.
Private by design
Your files are used to run your conversion and nothing else. No sharing, no training, and everything auto-deletes within 24 hours.
Seconds, not minutes
Most conversions come back before you'd have found the right export menu.
Speaks your language
The whole product — pages, assistant and answers — works in seven languages.
Nothing to install
Runs entirely in your browser, on any device. No apps, no accounts to start, no updates.
Compressing images, in practice
Just say the target size
The fastest way to use this tool: tell the chat what you need, like “compress this photo to under 2 MB” or “make this small enough to email”. The assistant picks the settings — you don't have to know what a quality slider does.
Typical targets that work well: under 200 KB for a website image, under 1 MB for forms and portals that cap uploads, and under 25 MB total for email attachments.
Dimensions matter more than quality settings
A 4000-pixel-wide photo shown in a 800-pixel column wastes most of its bytes. Resizing to the dimensions you actually need routinely shrinks a file by 80–90% before any quality is sacrificed — far more than lowering the compression quality alone.
If you know where the image will be used, say so: “resize this to 1600 px wide and compress it” gets a much smaller file than compressing at full resolution.
How much quality do you lose?
For JPEG photos, moderate compression is visually indistinguishable on screens; artifacts only become noticeable under aggressive size targets, first in smooth gradients like skies and skin.
Compression is one-way — a compressed file can't be restored, so keep your original if it matters. And compressing an already-compressed image again saves little while stacking artifacts.
Screenshots and graphics are different
Text, UI screenshots and line art suffer visibly from JPEG compression — edges get fuzzy halos. Those are better kept as PNG, or converted to WebP, which handles both photos and graphics well at smaller sizes. Ask the chat to “convert to WebP and compress” if the destination supports it.
Limits
Guests can upload images up to 25 MB, 3 per message, 10 conversions a day. A free account raises that to 100 MB per file, 12 files per message and 40 conversions a day — enough to batch-shrink a whole folder of photos.
Compress Image, answered
Common questions about compressing images.
Drop your image into the chat and ask to compress it. The assistant shrinks the file and gives it back to download, usually in a second or two.
Yes. You can use it for free as a guest. Signing in raises your limits and lets you do more per day.
No — everything runs in your browser. There's nothing to download or set up.
Your file is only used for the task you asked for. We don't share it or use it for anything else, and it's automatically deleted from our servers within 24 hours.
Drop the image in the chat and say “compress this to under 100 KB”. For most photos that's achievable; for very large or detailed images the assistant may also resize the dimensions to hit the target.
JPEG compression is lossy, but at moderate levels the difference is invisible on screens. Quality loss only becomes noticeable with very aggressive targets. The original file is never modified — you always get a new compressed copy.
For photos, WebP is usually 25–35% smaller than JPEG at the same visual quality, and AVIF smaller still. For screenshots and graphics with text, PNG or WebP — never JPEG. You can ask for a format change and compression in one message.
