Compress Image

Upload a JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF or HEIC image, choose a quality level and output format, and download a smaller copy with the same width and height. Everything runs in your browser, so your photos are never uploaded, and the result shows the new file size and how much you saved.

Your images are processed locally in your browser. They are not uploaded to Rabetly.

How to compress an image online

  1. Click to upload or drop an image (JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF or HEIC, up to 35 MB) into the upload area.
  2. Move the Quality slider anywhere from 40% to 100%; it starts at 85%, and lower values give smaller files.
  3. Pick jpeg, png or webp under Output format; JPEG and WebP shrink photos the most.
  4. Click Process image and compare the File size and Saved figures in the Result panel.
  5. Click Download result to save the file, or Change image to start again with another photo.

When to compress an image

  • A blogger shrinking 5 MB camera photos so article pages load quickly on mobile.
  • A job applicant reducing a scanned certificate so it fits an application portal's upload limit.
  • A small shop owner compressing product photos before adding them to an online store.
  • Someone emailing several phone photos at once without hitting the attachment size limit.

How this tool works

Choose a quality level and create a smaller browser-encoded image without changing its dimensions. Use the result preview and file-size comparison to decide what works for you.

Example

Upload a large JPEG, choose 80% quality, then download a smaller copy for a website or message.

Compress Image: frequently asked questions

Are my images uploaded when I compress them?

No. The image is decoded and re-encoded locally in your browser, and neither the picture nor its metadata is sent to our servers. The compressed file is created on your device and downloaded from there.

Why is my PNG barely smaller after compression?

Because PNG is a lossless format, the Quality slider has no effect on PNG output. Choose webp, which keeps transparency, or jpeg, which fills transparent areas with white, to get a much smaller file.

Does compressing change the image dimensions?

No. This tool keeps the original width and height and only changes how the image is encoded. If Saved shows 0%, lower the quality or switch format, or resize the image first to cut the file size further.

Does compression remove EXIF data and GPS location?

Usually yes. The result is a new file drawn from the image's pixels, so EXIF metadata such as the camera model and GPS location is normally not carried over, although results can differ slightly between browsers.
