What is this tool?
Image Compressor is a browser-based optimization tool designed to reduce the storage size of digital images (JPEG, PNG, WebP) by utilizing lossy canvas encoding and resolution adjustments.
How to use it
1. Drag and drop or browse to select your image.
2. Adjust the Quality slider to balance file size and visual clarity.
3. Optionally adjust the Scale slider or enter custom Width/Height to resize the resolution.
4. Slide the side-by-side divider to compare the original vs. compressed image.
5. Click "Download Compressed Image" to save the optimized file.
Pro tips
- For the best balance of file size and visual quality, convert PNG screenshots to WebP with 80% quality. This often reduces file size by over 80%.
- Use the side-by-side comparison slider to zoom in or slide back and forth to inspect fine text and details for compression artifacts.
