How to reduce the file size of an image
- Choose the image or drag it into the box.
- Move the quality slider until you find the point where the photo still looks good.
- If it is still too heavy, limit the maximum width or switch the format to WebP.
- Check the original size, the new size and the percentage saved, then download.
Limiting the width to 1920 px is usually the most effective way to shrink photos taken with a phone, which normally have more pixels than a screen can show. If you also need an exact size, use the image resizer.
JPG, PNG or WebP?
- JPG: ideal for photos. Doesn't support transparency.
- PNG: for logos, screenshots and transparent backgrounds. No quality loss, but a bigger file.
- WebP: modern format, lighter than JPG and with transparency. Current browsers can open it.
