About the Image Compressor

The Image Compressor reduces the file size of your photos and graphics directly in your browser, using the HTML5 Canvas API. There's no upload to a server — your image is processed locally and stays entirely on your device.

Adjust the quality slider to control the compression level, and optionally set a maximum width to scale down large images. This is a great way to prepare images for websites, emails, or storage without sacrificing more quality than necessary.
