- 01Compression cuts file size dramatically with little visible change at sensible quality settings.
- 02Batch mode handles a whole folder of photos at once.
- 03Files are processed locally, so client work and personal photos do not leave your device.
Why compress images?
Pages load faster, emails send instantly, and uploads go through on the first try when image files are reasonably sized. A 6 MB photo from a phone is rarely necessary on the web — the same image at 400 KB looks identical for most uses.
Compressing locally keeps the originals on your device and avoids the privacy hit of pushing personal or client images to a third-party service.
How to compress an image
Drop the images, set quality, and download the smaller files individually or as a ZIP.
- 01
Open the image compressor
Go to Handytool's Compress Image tool and drop your photos onto the page.
- 02
Set the quality
Use the quality slider. 80% is usually a great balance; lower values shrink more but show more compression artifacts.
- 03
Compare the result
Use the preview to compare the original and compressed versions before exporting.
- 04
Download the files
Save individual images or grab the whole batch as a ZIP. The originals are untouched.
Before compressing
A quick review prevents over-compression on images you care about.
- 01Decide the target use (web page, email, archive) — it dictates the right quality.
- 02Try 80% quality first and only go lower if needed.
- 03Compare the preview at 100% zoom for visible artifacts.
- 04Keep the originals in case the destination's spec changes.
- 05For PNG screenshots, prefer PNG-optimize over JPG conversion.
Image compression FAQ
Does compression upload my photos?
No. Handytool compresses images locally in your browser, so they stay on your device.
What quality should I pick?
80% is a strong default. Drop to 60–70% only if you need an extra-small file and can accept slightly visible artifacts.
Why does PNG barely shrink?
PNG uses lossless compression, so size reductions are limited. Convert to JPG or WebP for photos to get much smaller files.
Can I compress many images at once?
Yes. Drop a batch and the tool will process and zip them locally.
