Is the image compressor really free?

Yes. There is no signup, no free trial, and no watermark. Every feature is available to everyone.

Are my images uploaded to your server?

No. The image compressor runs entirely in your browser using standard web APIs. Your files never leave your device.

Which formats are supported?

JPG (JPEG), PNG and WebP. PNG images are re-encoded to JPEG for real size savings since PNG is a lossless format.

What quality setting should I use?

A quality of 70–80% is a good starting point for photos. Lower values produce smaller files but may show visible artifacts.

Will compression reduce image dimensions?

No — the compressor keeps the original dimensions. If you need smaller dimensions too, try the Image Resizer.

Free Image Compressor — Shrink JPG, PNG & WebP

Compress images without losing what matters

Zevqi’s image compressor shrinks JPG, PNG and WebP files right in your browser. Adjust the quality slider to find the sweet spot between file size and image quality, then download the result — no accounts, no watermarks, no email required.

When to use the image compressor

Making pages load faster before publishing to your website
Sending photos over email or messaging apps without hitting size limits
Reducing storage usage on your phone or laptop

How it works

We use the browser’s native canvas encoder to re-save your image at a lower quality. PNGs are re-encoded to JPEG so they actually get smaller, since PNG is a lossless format that isn’t designed to compress photos.

Frequently asked questions

About the Image Compressor

Photos from modern phones routinely weigh 3 to 8 MB, which is far more than any website, email or form needs. The Image Compressor re-encodes your picture at a quality level you choose, so you can find the smallest file that still looks right.

Compression runs in your browser using the canvas API. Your picture is never uploaded, which makes it safe for ID photos, receipts and other personal images.

How to use it

Drop a JPG, PNG or WebP image onto the upload area, or click to choose one.
Move the quality slider. The preview and the new file size update so you can compare against the original.
When the result looks good, press the download button to save the smaller file.

Common uses

Getting a photo under an upload limit such as 1 MB or 2 MB on a job or government portal.
Speeding up a blog or store page by shrinking hero images before publishing.
Attaching several pictures to one email without hitting the attachment cap.

Tips for better results

Quality between 70 and 85 percent is usually the sweet spot: file size drops sharply while the difference is hard to see.
Photographs compress far better as JPG or WebP than as PNG. Use the Image Converter first if your photo is saved as PNG.
If the file is still too big, resize it with the Image Resizer before compressing. Fewer pixels shrink a file more than lower quality does.

Good to know

Lossy compression cannot be undone, so keep your original file.
Screenshots and graphics with flat colours and sharp text may look soft at low quality. Try a higher setting for those.
