Questions
How can I make a photo under 1 MB or 200 KB?
Lower the quality to around 70% and set Max width to 1920 px (or 1280 px for 200 KB). Resizing a large phone photo is what saves the most.
Why didn't my PNG get smaller?
PNG is lossless, so there's little to remove. Switch the format to JPG or WebP for big savings. If a file would get bigger, the tool keeps your original.
Is quality visibly worse?
At 70–80% most people can't tell the difference on screen. Compare the result before you delete the original.
Is my images uploaded to a server?
No. The tool runs in your browser and works on your images directly on your device. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else, which is why it also keeps working if your connection drops after the page loads.
Is image compression free?
Yes. There's no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit. The only limit is your device's memory, which matters only for very large files.
