Make images smaller (JPG, WebP or PNG) with a quality slider or a target size, such as under 1 MB — ideal for emailing or uploading.
Good to know
Anyone trying to reduce photo size for email runs into the same wall: mail servers cap attachments, usually at 10 MB on business accounts and 25 MB on the big free services. A shot from a recent phone is 4 to 8 MB, so three of them already fill that up. At 80 percent quality the same photo gets considerably smaller, and on a screen you can barely tell; the number of pixels stays the same, though, so a phone photo usually won't get below 500 KB that way. If it has to stay under a fixed limit, choose a target size: for each photo the highest quality that fits is found, and if that is not enough, the photo also gets fewer pixels. You can load several images at once; with more than one, they come back as a zip. If the whole set stays too heavy, a download link travels more easily than an attachment.
At the same quality, WebP is typically a quarter to a third smaller than JPG, and every browser from the last few years displays it without fuss. For anything going on a website it is the better pick: the page loads noticeably faster. The moment the file leaves your hands, JPG is the safer bet; older photo software, upload forms on webshops and portals, and print suppliers still often reject a .webp. Rule of thumb: WebP for your own site, JPG for anything you send on. On a screenshot with text, WebP holds sharp edges better than a JPG pushed far down.
The slider runs from 30 to 95 percent and starts at 80; between 75 and 85 you rarely see a difference from the original on screen. Below 60, blotches show up in flat areas: sky, a wall, a plain backdrop. A photo full of detail, grass or foliage, takes more punishment. Compression is irreversible, so work from the original rather than a copy that has already been through a round; the damage stacks. That original stays on your computer, by the way, since the work happens in your browser. One last thing: the pixel dimensions do not change; for that, use Resize.
Yes. Under Target size, choose for example Under 500 KB or Under 100 KB, or a size of your own. For each photo the highest quality that stays below it is found; if that is not possible, the photo is also made smaller in pixels.
Here the file gets smaller in KB or MB. If you want fewer pixels instead, for example a photo 1080 pixels wide, use Resize image; with Maximum size (longest side) you can also do it here in one go.
No. The work happens in your own browser, on your computer or phone: your file is not sent to our server. Only if you then choose to send the result as a download link is it uploaded.
Yes, up to a limit. Without an account you can do 3 operations per category (all PDF tools count together, for example) in a session, and with a free account 10 per category. If you need more, you need a subscription. See the prices.
Yes. After the operation you can send the result as a download link, even if it is too large for an email attachment. To do so, sign in or create a free account.
