How this online image compressor works

The tool decodes images in your browser, processes them in a Worker, and downloads the compressed result. Your files stay on your device, so there is no upload step and no server-side image storage.

Reduce image file size and keep the format

Use this page when you want smaller files without changing file type. It works for JPEG photos, PNG screenshots, WebP assets, SVG files, and GIF files. Use Image Converter when you deliberately want WebP, JPEG, PNG, AVIF, SVG, or GIF output.

Quality settings for clear compressed images

The default Quality 85 setting is designed to keep images clear while still reducing file size. Lower values create smaller files, but compression artifacts or PNG color banding can become easier to see.

Good fit for websites, ecommerce, and content teams

This page is best for general image compression tasks where the source files may include product photos, screenshots, blog images, landing page graphics, and exported design assets.

FAQ

Can I compress multiple images at once?

Yes. Add several JPEG, PNG, or WebP files, then use Compress to process the pending files in the queue.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. The compressor runs locally in your browser with a Web Worker, so your files stay on your device.

Why is the compressed file sometimes not smaller?

Some images are already heavily optimized. When the new result is larger, Pic Forge keeps the original file instead.
