About the Compress image
Handytool's image compressor shrinks JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, and HEIC files so they load faster and take less storage — without a visible drop in quality. A single quality slider controls the trade-off, and an optional max-dimension cap downscales oversized photos in the same step. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
Compress image features
- 01
Quality slider, instant feedback
Pick a quality level from 1 to 100. The result panel shows the new file size and the percentage saved next to each image, so you can dial in the right balance.
- 02
Optional resize-down
Cap the longer side at any pixel size to shrink huge phone photos at the same time. Aspect ratio is always preserved.
- 03
Batch + ZIP download
Drop multiple files and compress them all in one click. Each result is downloadable on its own, or grab the whole batch as a single ZIP.
Compress image FAQ
- How much can I compress an image without losing quality?
- JPG and WebP at quality 75–85 typically shrink files by 50–80% with no visible difference from the original. AVIF gets even smaller at the same quality. The right setting depends on the image — use the quality slider and check the preview.
- Does the compressor change my image dimensions?
- Not by default. Enable the max-dimension option if you also want to downscale oversized images while compressing them.
- What is the difference between JPG, WebP, and AVIF compression?
- JPG is the most compatible. WebP gives roughly 25–35% smaller files at the same visual quality. AVIF is the newest standard with the best compression, but encoding speed is slower.
- Can I compress PNG files?
- PNG is lossless and can't be re-compressed in the same way. The tool will compress PNG sources by re-encoding them as WebP (or your chosen format) — typically 60–80% smaller — while keeping transparency.
- Are my files uploaded?
- No. Everything runs locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images never leave your device.
