How to compress images for your website

Heavy images are the leading cause of slow websites. Google treats load speed as a direct ranking factor — on both desktop and mobile — which makes compressing images before publishing one of the most important practices for improving SEO and user experience.

A good rule of thumb is keeping content images under 200 KB and background images under 500 KB. With quality between 75% and 85% in JPEG, the visual difference is imperceptible to most users, but the impact on load time is significant. Pages that load in under 2 seconds see much lower bounce rates, which positively affects search rankings.

For modern websites, we recommend the WebP format: it offers better compression than JPEG and PNG at the same visual quality, and is supported by all current browsers. On average, a WebP image is 30% smaller than its JPEG equivalent, with no perceptible quality loss. That means real bandwidth savings and a direct improvement in performance metrics like Google's Core Web Vitals — especially LCP (Largest Contentful Paint).

Beyond format, other factors affect ideal compression: the type of image (photos benefit more from JPEG/WebP, while illustrations and screenshots look better in PNG), using correct dimensions (never publish a 2000px image to display at 400px), and applying lazy loading, which defers loading images that aren't yet visible on screen.

Use our compression tool to reduce your images' file size for free, directly in your browser, with no file uploads. The process is fast, secure, and preserves the visual quality your content deserves. Whether for a blog, online store or portfolio, optimized images are a direct investment in your site's performance and rankings.

Frequently asked questions

Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens directly in your browser using the Canvas API. Your files never leave your computer or phone — which guarantees full privacy and works even offline after the page first loads.
What's the difference between JPEG, PNG and WebP?
JPEG is ideal for photos — lossy compression, smaller files. PNG is better for images with transparency or text, since it uses lossless compression. WebP is the most modern format: it supports transparency like PNG, but with files up to 35% smaller than JPEG. For websites, WebP is always the best choice.
What quality setting should I use?
For websites, 75–85% in JPEG or WebP is the sweet spot: significant size reduction with no perceptible visual loss for most users. For professional printing, keep 90% or higher. For email and social media, 70–80% works well.
Is there a file size or file count limit?
There's no limit imposed by the tool. The size limit depends on your device's available memory — since processing is local, images up to 20–30 MB work fine for most cases. For batch mode, you can select as many files as you want at once.
How do I compress an image for WhatsApp without losing quality?
WhatsApp automatically recompresses images larger than 5 MB, which can degrade quality. To avoid this, compress before sending: use 80–85% quality in JPEG or WebP with this tool. The resulting file will be under the limit with no perceptible visual loss — and WhatsApp won't recompress it again.
How do I reduce an image from MB to KB?
Upload the image, set quality to 75–80% and select WebP as the output format. A 3 MB photo can easily drop to 200–400 KB with this setting, with no perceptible visual difference. If you need to go even lower, reduce the quality gradually while watching the live preview.
Does compressing images affect Google's Core Web Vitals?
Yes, directly. Heavy images are the main cause of slow LCP (Largest Contentful Paint), one of the three Core Web Vitals Google uses for ranking. Compressing images to under 200 KB and using WebP are two of the highest-impact improvements for PageSpeed Score — especially on mobile, where Google prioritizes indexing.
