Image Compressor
Image Compressor exists to do one job well: reduce image file size. The image is decoded onto an HTML canvas in your browser and re-encoded there, so the picture is processed on your own device rather than uploaded. It is used most by developers preparing assets for an app or website build. EXIF orientation is respected, so photos from a phone do not come out rotated. It stays free with unlimited use, and there is no watermark on anything it produces.
Key features
- EXIF orientation is respected, so photos from a phone do not come out rotated.
- Colour profiles are kept as the browser reads them — extreme wide-gamut originals may shift slightly.
- Works on desktop, tablet and phone — no separate app to install.
- Built to do one job properly rather than twenty jobs badly.

Frequently asked questions
- Does Image Compressor strip location data from my photos? — Re-encoding drops most EXIF metadata, including GPS coordinates — useful if you are about to post the picture publicly.
- Is there a size limit? — Only what your device can hold in memory. Ordinary camera photos are instant; very large panoramas may take a few seconds.
- Which image formats does Image Compressor accept? — JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP and — in current browsers — AVIF. HEIC from an iPhone usually needs converting first.
- Will transparency survive? — Yes for PNG and WebP output. Saving as JPG has no transparency channel, so transparent areas become solid.
