Compress Images
Make images smaller quickly. Files are processed and deleted automatically.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I compress an image to under 1MB or 200KB?
Use Target size and enter the goal in KB, such as 1024 for about 1MB or 200 for 200KB. Then adjust quality/profile if you need a smaller result.
What image formats can I compress?
You can process JPG, PNG, and WebP images, and optionally export in JPG, PNG, or WebP.
Which format gives the smallest file size?
For photos, WebP or JPG is usually smallest. PNG is better for graphics or transparent assets but can be larger.
How do quality presets work in the image compressor?
Gentle prioritizes quality, Balanced is best for most uploads, and Strong pushes stronger reduction when size matters most.
Does image compression reduce quality?
Lossy formats like JPG/WebP may lose detail at lower quality values. Use higher quality settings when text clarity and fine detail are important.
Can I keep transparent backgrounds?
Yes. Use PNG or WebP output when transparency is required.
Does target size always hit the exact KB value?
Target size is best-effort because image complexity varies. If needed, run one more pass with a slightly lower quality setting.
What is the max image upload size?
The limit is 10MB per image.
Are compressed images stored after download?
No. Files are processed temporarily to generate your output, then deleted automatically. Tiny File Tools does not require signup for these tools.
