Image compressor & WebP converter.
Make photos smaller so your website loads faster: compress them, turn them into WebP and resize them in one go. It all happens in your browser, so your images are never uploaded.
Save as
WebP is usually 25 to 35% smaller than JPEG at the same quality, and every current browser shows it.

Images bigger than this are scaled down, keeping their shape. Smaller ones are left alone.

How big should images be?
Photos straight off a phone are often 3 to 5MB. On a website, most don't need to be more than a few hundred kilobytes.
| Where it goes | Width | Aim for |
|---|---|---|
| Full-width banner or hero | 1920–2560px | Under 300KB |
| Image in the page | 1200px | Under 150KB |
| Card, gallery or thumbnail | 600–800px | Under 80KB |
| Logo | SVG if you can | Under 20KB |
Widths are about twice the space the image takes up on a laptop screen, so it stays sharp on high-resolution displays.
Questions about image compression
Are my images uploaded?
No. They're compressed in your browser, on your own computer or phone, and never sent to us or anyone else.
What is WebP?
An image format made for the web. A WebP is usually 25 to 35% smaller than a JPEG that looks the same, and every current browser shows it. Most website editors, WordPress included, accept WebP uploads.
What quality should I use?
80 is a good start for photos: hard to tell from the original, at a fraction of the size. Drop to 70 for big background images, and go up to 90 for product photos people zoom in on.
Why is my PNG still big?
PNG keeps every pixel exactly, which suits logos and screenshots but not photos. For photos, save as WebP or JPEG instead, and the file is usually many times smaller.
Does it remove location data from photos?
Yes. The new images contain only the picture, so any location, camera or date information in the original isn't carried over.
Why do images matter for my website?
Images are usually the heaviest part of a page. Smaller ones make pages load faster, especially on phones, and speed is part of how Google ranks sites.
A slow website?We can fix that.
Images are usually the start. We speed up websites, whoever built them, for a fixed price.
