How do I compress an image to a specific size?

Use our Free Online Image Compressor to shrink an image to a target file size. Steps: Upload your image (PNG, JPG or WebP) Choose the target file size (for example 500 KB or 1 MB) Click 'Run Conversion' and download the smaller image

Does the image change format?

No. The result keeps the format you uploaded - a PNG stays a PNG, a JPG stays a JPG and a WebP stays a WebP. Transparency is preserved.

What if my image is already smaller than the target?

It is returned unchanged. We never re-encode an image that already fits, so you lose no quality.
