Free Image Compressor
Just need one image smaller? Use Quick. Got a batch to work through? Use the Workbench. Your images are never uploaded — everything runs on your own device.

What this tool is
A free image compressor that runs entirely in your browser. Enter the size limit you need (say 200KB) and it automatically tunes the compression quality to fit under that limit. You can also resize images without touching quality, or scale them to exact pixels while capping the file size.
Unlike most online compressors, your images are never uploaded to any server — everything happens on your own device. No upload means no waiting, no privacy risk, and it keeps working with your connection off.
Typical uses:
- Forms, exams or job portals that require a photo under 200KB
- Systems that demand an exact pixel size such as 295 × 413
- Cases where both the dimensions and the file size are capped
- Processing a batch of images and downloading them as one ZIP
How to use it
The page offers two paths — pick whichever matches what you are holding:
- Quick — a single image that just needs to be smaller, or a new size. Drop it in, type one number, press the button. Format and quality are decided for you.
- Workbench — a whole batch. Choose "Compress to a size / Resize to dimensions / Both", pick your images and start. Every image uses the same settings; when one of them needs its own target, turn on "Set each image separately".
- Download — individually, or all together as a ZIP.
Frequently asked questions
Are my images uploaded?
No. Everything runs in your browser — there is no server involved, and it works offline. That is also why there is no upload progress bar: there is no upload.
Can it compress an image below 200KB?
Yes — that is the core feature. Enter the target (for example 200) and the tool finds the highest quality that still fits under that size. If an image simply cannot reach the target, it says so honestly instead of pretending it succeeded.
Which image formats are supported?
Input: JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP and anything else your browser can read. Output: WebP, JPEG, PNG, the original format, or let the tool decide automatically.
Why did the file get bigger after compressing?
Re-encoding has its own overhead. If an image was already heavily compressed, compressing it again can increase the size. In that case the tool keeps the original and marks it as already optimal.
How many images can I process at once?
No limit on count or size — there is no server bandwidth involved. Batch processing runs one image at a time on purpose, so that decoding dozens of images at once does not exhaust your browser memory.
Will quality visibly suffer?
It depends on your target. Compressing to 20–40% of the original size is usually indistinguishable to the eye; below about 10% you will start to notice. Try one or two images first before running a batch.
I only want to resize, without losing quality. What should I use?
Use the resize option in Quick, or the resize task in the Workbench. Both change dimensions only and never compress quality against a target size — shrinking the dimensions already reduces the file size.
How do I get an image to an exact pixel size?
In the Workbench choose "Resize to dimensions" and type the width and height you need. The default "Strict pixels" guarantees the output matches those numbers exactly; if you would rather not distort the image, switch the scaling method to "Crop to fill" or "Fit with padding".
Can I limit both the dimensions and the file size?
Yes — in the Workbench choose "Both": set the target pixels, then the size limit, and the tool resizes before compressing. Application forms often enforce both conditions at once.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, the layout is responsive. Phone memory is limited though, so pick fewer images at a time when they are large.
Do I need to sign up or pay?
No. No account, no ads, no limit on how many images or how large they are.
How is this different from other online image compressors?
Two things. First, your images are never uploaded — all processing is local. Second, target-size compression: most tools give you a quality slider and you have to guess, while here you type 200KB and it guarantees the result fits.
