Guide

What this tool is for

Photo Compressor is the broad photo-focused entry point for shrinking camera images, phone exports, and image attachments. It is built for people who care about a smaller shareable file more than exact format conversion, while keeping the photo inside the browser.

This page is designed for a narrow, repeatable image workflow instead of a full image editor. Use it when making phone or camera photos small enough for email, forms, and support portals, 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.

Choose a photo from the device and confirm it opens in the preview.
Select JPG or WebP output and move the quality slider toward the size target.
Compress the photo and download the optimized copy.

Best use cases

Common jobs where this page saves a repetitive manual step.

Making phone or camera photos small enough for email, forms, and support portals.
Preparing product, blog, or documentation photos before publishing.
Creating lighter copies for sharing while keeping the original file untouched.

Output and format notes

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

Photo compression works best on photographic images; logos and screenshots may need format-specific handling.
JPG is usually the safest compatibility output, while WebP often gives stronger size savings.
If the photo is still too large after compression, reduce dimensions with Resize Image.

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 photo 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.
