Guide

What this tool is for

Reduce Image Size is for users who need a smaller file for an upload limit, email attachment, support form, or publishing workflow. It uses the existing local compression path and focuses on practical JPG or WebP output rather than adding a heavy editor.

This page is designed for a narrow, repeatable image workflow instead of a full image editor. Use it when making a photo or screenshot small enough for an upload limit, 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. Load the image and wait for the preview to confirm the source file.
  2. Choose JPG or WebP output, then lower or raise quality based on the size target.
  3. Export the smaller copy and compare the output details before downloading.

Best use cases

Common jobs where this page saves a repetitive manual step.

  • Making a photo or screenshot small enough for an upload limit.
  • Preparing lighter assets before publishing product, blog, or help-center images.
  • Creating a smaller shareable copy while keeping the original file untouched.

Output and format notes

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

  • JPG and WebP outputs are used because they can reduce file size more predictably than PNG for many images.
  • If quality changes are not enough, resize the image dimensions for a larger reduction.
  • WebP often gives strong savings for browser delivery, while JPG remains safer for older upload systems.

Choose size reduction or resizing

Reducing image size through compression helps when width and height are already acceptable. Resizing is the better first step when the image dimensions are far larger than the target platform needs.

  • Use Compress Image when you want the same compression workflow under a broader tool name.
  • Use Compress JPG or Compress PNG when the source format should guide expectations.
  • Use Resize Image first when pixel dimensions are the main reason the file is too large.
