Compress an Image

Make a JPG, PNG or WebP photo smaller, or bring it under the exact KB limit a form asks for. It runs in your browser, so the picture stays on your device. No watermark and no account.

How to use this tool

  1. Upload a JPG, PNG or WebP image.
  2. Pick a compression level, or set the exact KB size a form asks for.
  3. Download the compressed image, made on your own computer and never uploaded.

Made for form upload limits

The typical instruction on an application form is oddly specific: photograph between 20 KB and 50 KB, signature under 20 KB, document scan under 200 KB. Modern phone cameras produce files a hundred times larger than that, so something has to give before the form will accept anything at all.

How the size comes down

JPEG compression works by discarding detail the eye is least likely to miss, and the quality setting decides how much. Dropping quality is usually a better trade than dropping resolution for a document scan, because sharp edges on text survive quality reduction better than they survive being shrunk. For a portrait photograph the reverse is often true.

PNG is a lossless format, so a PNG of a photograph is almost always much larger than it needs to be; converting it to JPEG is normally the single biggest saving available. PNG genuinely is the right choice for screenshots, line drawings and anything with hard flat colour or transparency.

The picture stays on your computer

Compressing an image does not need a server, so this one does not use ours. Your browser decodes the picture, scales it if you asked for that, and re-encodes it at a series of quality settings until it finds the best one that still fits under your limit: all on your own machine. We never receive the file.

Worth knowing if you are compressing a scan of an ID card, a bank passbook page, a mark sheet, or a photograph of someone else. Those are the images people upload to random websites without thinking about it, and they are exactly the ones that should not go anywhere.

Check before you submit

Compress to the limit you need and then look at the result at full size: particularly a signature, which is thin dark strokes on white and is the first thing to fall apart. If the form rejects the file for dimensions rather than size, use the photo and signature resizer instead, which targets exact pixel dimensions.

फोटो का साइज घटाना (JPG / PNG)

फॉर्म पर लिखा रहता है (फोटो 20 से 50 KB, हस्ताक्षर 20 KB से कम, दस्तावेज 200 KB से कम) और मोबाइल से खींची फोटो उससे सौ गुना बड़ी निकलती है। फोटो यहाँ डालिए, तय सीमा के अन्दर की फाइल ले जाइए। न वॉटरमार्क, न साइनअप।

कागज की स्कैन कॉपी के लिए क्वालिटी घटाना, रिजॉल्यूशन घटाने से बेहतर बैठता है। अक्षरों के किनारे ज्यादा साफ बचते हैं। चेहरे वाली फोटो में अक्सर इसका उल्टा सही होता है।

PNG लॉसलेस फॉर्मेट है, इसलिए फोटो को PNG में रखना बेवजह भारी पड़ता है। उसे JPG कर देना ही सबसे बड़ी बचत है। स्क्रीनशॉट, लाइन ड्राइंग और पारदर्शी बैकग्राउंड के लिए PNG ही ठीक है।

जमा करने से पहले फाइल पूरी खोलकर देख लीजिए, खास तौर पर हस्ताक्षर, क्योंकि वही सबसे पहले बिगड़ता है। और अगर फॉर्म साइज की नहीं बल्कि पिक्सल माप की वजह से मना कर रहा है, तो फोटो/हस्ताक्षर रीसाइज वाला टूल चाहिए, यह नहीं।

Frequently Asked Questions

Which image formats can I compress?

JPG/JPEG, PNG and WebP.

Should I use JPG or PNG for a scanned document?

JPG, almost always. PNG is lossless and much larger for photographic or scanned content; keep PNG for screenshots, line art and transparency.

Will a compressed signature still be accepted?

Usually, but check it at full size first. Thin dark strokes on white are the first thing to degrade.

Is a watermark added or is my image stored?

Neither, and there is no upload to store: the compression happens inside your browser, on your own computer.

Can I compress an image without uploading it to a website?

Yes. This page loads a small amount of code and then does the work locally in your browser. The image itself never travels. You can confirm it in your browser's Network tab, or by going offline after the page has loaded.
