Everything happens in this browser, so your images never leave your computer. PNGs are compressed with libimagequant and OxiPNG, JPGs with Google's JPEGli, and every result is scored with SSIMULACRA 2, the quality metric from Cloudinary and JPEG XL.

This free image compressor makes PNG, JPG, WebP and HEIC images smaller, in your browser.

It scores every file against the original. Drop any mix of formats, up to 50 at once, and nothing is uploaded.

Here's what an image compressor is, how it handles each format, and what I measured.

What is an image compressor?

An image compressor makes an image file smaller, and keeps it looking the same.

Each format gets its own engine here. PNGs have their colors cut to what the eye needs, JPGs are written with Google's JPEGli, and WebP and AVIF with their own encoders.

HEIC photos come back as JPGs, since few apps open HEIC.

The PNG compressor made the smallest file of every tool I tested, CloudConvert and TinyPNG included.

The PNG compressor and JPG compressor pages have the full comparisons.

How I tested

I tested on September 29, 2026. The files were the same screenshots, graphics and photos behind each format's own page.

How I scored each file0/4

The score is SSIMULACRA 2, a metric from Cloudinary that compares two pictures the way your eye does:

ScoreWhat it means
90 and upLooks identical: no difference even flicking between them at 100%
80 to 90Same side by side at 100%
70 to 80High quality: hard to notice without comparing
50 to 70Medium quality: you can see it up close
Under 50Visible loss

Pick the right format

PNG is for screenshots, logos and graphics, and JPG, WebP and AVIF are for photos.

A photo saved as PNG can shrink 90% as a JPG, and the compressor offers that when it sees one.

Who is the image compressor for?

It's for anyone whose images are too big to send, post or upload:

It works in your browser, and the new file leaves out hidden details like the camera and where a photo was taken.
