How to use Image Compressor
Use the Image Compressor to reduce image file size before uploading to websites, blogs, stores, forms, or social channels. Smaller images help pages load faster, improve user experience, and make sharing easier while keeping the workflow simple and mobile-friendly.
Step 1: Upload the image
Choose a JPG, PNG, or WebP file you plan to publish. Prefer the highest-quality source you still have.
Step 2: Balance size and quality
Adjust compression until the preview looks acceptable and the file size fits your upload or page-speed budget.
Step 3: Download the result
Save the compressed file and replace the original on your site, store listing, or social post.

Practical tips
- Compress after resizing—shrinking dimensions often saves more than quality alone.
- Keep an uncompressed master for future edits.
- Test on mobile; banding shows up more on gradients after heavy compression.
