Image reduction bench
Make the file lighter before you send it.
Select the images, create compressed WebP copies, and compare the resulting size. Keep the original when editing quality matters.
01
Select one or more images.
02
Create WebP copies locally.
03
Download the files you need.
Match dimensions to the actual use
| Use | Example decision | Inspection |
|---|---|---|
| Website card | Resize a large photo to its needed display width | Check faces and edges at the final size |
| Text screenshot | Use a gentler setting | Check the smallest letters |
| Transparent logo | Confirm output transparency | Check against both light and dark backgrounds |
Judge the resulting image at its destination size and at full resolution. A small byte count is not useful if text becomes unreadable. Compare the original and output dimensions as well as bytes. Re-encoding an already compressed image can increase size or introduce artifacts; keep the source for printing and future editing.
PRACTICAL GUIDE
How to use Image Compressor with a clear next step.
Choose a JPG, PNG, or WebP image, set a quality and maximum edge that suit its final use, then create the WebP copy. Compare the displayed size change and inspect the preview before downloading. Keep the original if the image is for print, legal evidence, or further editing.
Choose a representative image and compare it at the size where it will actually be used. A product photograph may tolerate a smaller maximum edge, while tiny text on a certificate can become unreadable at the same setting. Begin with moderate quality, create a new copy and compare both the byte size and a detailed area such as a label or hairline. The selected source may already be efficiently encoded, so a larger result is possible and should not be treated as successful compression. Check transparency and colours against the destination application when converting formats. If the preview fails, verify that the image opens normally and try a smaller source rather than repeatedly selecting a damaged file. Download the accepted result once and avoid recompressing that lossy copy for future edits. Keep the original as the editing master and use the lighter version only for its intended delivery task.
HOW THE RESULT WORKS
The compressor redraws and re-encodes the selected image in the current browser. It reports actual output size, which may be smaller, similar, or larger depending on the source. Format conversion is a practical delivery step, not a guarantee of visual equivalence.

Are images sent to a server?
The stated compression workflow runs in the current browser session without an upload queue.
Can quality change?
Yes. Lossy conversion can alter detail, so inspect the output at the intended size.
Which formats can I select?
Use common browser-readable image formats such as JPG, PNG, and WebP.
