Guide

What this tool is for

Compress PNG is useful when a screenshot, graphic, or exported asset is too large for upload or publishing. The tool keeps the process local and focuses on lighter JPG or WebP output because re-saving as PNG can make many files larger instead of smaller.

This page is designed for a narrow, repeatable image workflow instead of a full image editor. Use it when shrinking screenshots before sharing them in tickets, docs, or chat, while keeping preview, settings, export, and follow-up choices in one predictable no-upload flow.

How to use this tool

A short browser-side flow that keeps the file on the current device.

  1. Add the PNG image and wait for the preview to confirm the source file.
  2. Choose JPG or WebP output, then adjust quality for the size target.
  3. Export the compressed copy and compare the output size before downloading.

Best use cases

Common jobs where this page saves a repetitive manual step.

  • Shrinking screenshots before sharing them in tickets, docs, or chat.
  • Preparing heavy PNG assets for web pages where smaller delivery matters.
  • Creating a lighter copy when transparency is not required or WebP is accepted.

Output and format notes

Details that help you avoid format or quality mistakes before export.

  • JPG output removes transparency, while WebP can usually keep transparency in modern browsers.
  • Flat graphics and text-heavy screenshots may need a higher quality setting to stay readable.
  • Use PNG to WebP when the main goal is format conversion rather than a general compression pass.

Choose the right nearby tool

Image tasks often sit next to each other: conversion solves format compatibility, compression solves file weight, resize changes dimensions, and metadata cleanup handles privacy. Use the nearby tools when the next constraint changes.

  • Use a paired conversion page when the target format is different from this workflow.
  • Use Compress Image when the format is acceptable but the file is still too large.
  • Use Resize, Crop, Rotate, or Remove Metadata when the image content needs cleanup before export.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does PNG compression upload my image to a server?

No. The editor runs entirely in your browser.

Can I use it on mobile?

Yes. The layout is responsive and the controls stay usable on small screens.

What happens to metadata?

When metadata stripping is enabled, the image is re-encoded so EXIF and similar metadata are removed.
