Image Compressor
Reduce image file size without unnecessary complexity
Compress JPG, PNG and WebP images directly in your browser. Compare the original
and compressed versions side by side, choose an output format and adjust quality
before downloading the result.
Choose a JPG, PNG or WebP image, or drag it into the upload area.
2
Choose the format
Keep the original format or convert the result to JPG, PNG or WebP.
3
Set the quality
For JPG and WebP, adjust the quality slider to balance appearance and file size.
4
Compress
Press Compress Image to create the new version in your browser.
5
Compare
Check the original and compressed previews and review the file-size saving.
6
Download
Save the compressed image once you are happy with the result.
Why compress?
Smaller files are easier to use and share
Faster web pagesSmaller image files can reduce page weight and help photographs load more quickly.
Easier email attachmentsCompressed images are quicker to send and less likely to exceed attachment limits.
Faster uploadsReduce the time needed to upload images to websites, forms, cloud storage and social platforms.
Save storage spaceSmaller files can reduce the amount of storage used on phones, tablets and computers.
Website optimisationResize and compress images before uploading them when the original camera file is much larger than the display size you need.
Choose the best formatChanging between JPG, PNG and WebP can sometimes make a bigger difference than changing quality alone.
Choosing quality
What quality setting should you use?
There is no single percentage that is best for every image. The right setting depends
on the photograph, output format and how the file will be used.
Quality
Good starting point for
What to expect
90–100%
High-quality photographs and images you may edit again
Very little visible loss, but usually a larger file.
80–90%
Websites, portfolios and general photo sharing
Often a useful balance between visual quality and file size.
65–80%
Email, social posts and everyday web use
Smaller files with more compression; inspect fine detail before downloading.
50–65%
When file size matters more than retaining fine detail
More visible compression may appear, especially around text and edges.
Good starting point:
try around 80% for a JPG or WebP photograph, compare it with the original, then move
the slider up or down depending on the result. PNG is lossless, so its file-size behaviour is different.
Format guide
JPG vs PNG vs WebP
Format
Best for
Transparency
Typical behaviour
JPG
Photographs and everyday images
No
Usually produces relatively small photo files and supports adjustable lossy quality.
PNG
Graphics, screenshots, logos and transparency
Yes
Lossless and often larger for photographic images.
WebP
Modern websites and general online images
Yes
Often gives a good quality-to-file-size balance and supports transparency.

Professional compression tips
Resize before compressing
If a camera image is far larger than you need, reducing its dimensions first can cut the file size dramatically.
Crop unwanted areas
Removing unused parts of the image reduces pixel count and can also improve the composition.
Use JPG for photographs
JPG is a strong choice for ordinary photographs that do not need transparency.
Use PNG when transparency matters
PNG is useful for logos, screenshots and graphics that need transparent areas or lossless edges.
Try WebP for the web
WebP is often worth testing when you want a smaller web image while keeping good visual quality.
Always compare the preview
Fine textures, hair, text and high-contrast edges can reveal compression sooner than smoother areas.
How this tool behaves
Useful limits to know
15 MB upload limitThe current tool accepts supported images up to 15 MB.
One image at a timeThis version compresses one image at a time so you can compare and control each result.
Large images may be resizedFor reliable browser processing, images with a side longer than 4096 pixels are reduced proportionally during compression.
PNG can remain largeBecause PNG is lossless, lowering the quality slider does not work the same way as JPG or WebP.
JPG removes transparencyIf a transparent image is exported as JPG, transparent areas are filled with white.
Saving can varySome settings can create a larger file. The comparison panel shows the actual result before download.
Browser-based processing
Your image is handled inside the browser
The current Image Compressor is designed to read and process the selected image
in your browser rather than intentionally uploading it to MixPlay. The compressed
result is created locally and can then be downloaded to your device.
Practical tip
Keep your original image if it is important. Compression is best used to make a
separate smaller copy for websites, email, social media or other everyday uses.
FAQ
Image Compressor frequently asked questions
Is the Image Compressor free?
Yes. The basic tool can be used without payment or registration.
Which image formats are supported?
The current tool accepts JPG, JPEG, PNG and WebP images.
What is the maximum file size?
The current upload limit is 15 MB per image.
Can I choose a different output format?
Yes. You can keep the original format or choose JPG, PNG or WebP.
Why did my compressed file become larger?
This can happen when the original file was already efficient, when a higher-quality setting is used, or when converting to a format that is less suitable for that image. Try a lower JPG/WebP quality or another format.
Why does the quality slider have little effect on PNG?
PNG uses lossless compression, so it does not use the same lossy quality control as JPG or WebP. Converting a photographic PNG to JPG or WebP can sometimes create a much smaller file.
Does compression reduce image quality?
JPG and WebP can reduce quality depending on the selected setting. The side-by-side preview lets you inspect the result before downloading.
Can I compress transparent images?
Yes. PNG and WebP support transparency. JPG does not, so transparent areas are filled with white when exported as JPG.
Does the tool resize very large photographs?
Yes. For browser reliability, the compressor limits the longest side of the processed output to 4096 pixels when the original image is larger than that.
Can I compress several images at once?
Not in this version. The tool currently handles one image at a time.
Does MixPlay upload my image?
The current compressor is designed to process the image inside your browser rather than intentionally uploading it to MixPlay.
What quality should I start with?
Around 80% is a useful starting point for many JPG and WebP photographs, but the best setting depends on the image. Compare the preview and adjust as needed.
