Frequently asked questions
Is the image compressor free?
Yes. The image compressor is 100% free with no limits, no watermark and no paid tier.
Do I need an account or sign-up?
No. There is no account, sign-up or email required. Open the page and start using it.
What quality setting should I use?
Around 70–80% usually looks identical to the original while cutting file size dramatically. Lower it further for thumbnails.
What size is best for websites and social media?
About 1600 px wide for website images, 1080 px for Instagram posts, and 1200 px for email attachments.
Why is my PNG not getting smaller?
PNG is lossless, so photos stay large. Switch to JPG or WEBP for photos; keep PNG for logos and screenshots with sharp edges.
Are my files or text uploaded anywhere?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing you enter or open is sent to our servers or stored by us.
