Compress Images Online — Shrink JPG, PNG & WebP Without Uploading

Reduce the file size of your photos and graphics directly in the browser. Pick an output format (JPEG or WebP) and a quality level, and the compressor re-encodes the image locally using the canvas engine — typically cutting file sizes by 50–90% with visually minimal difference.

Because the image never leaves your device, this is a safe compressor for personal photos, ID scans, screenshots, and work documents. No accounts, no watermarks, no batch limits — and since PureKit is a PWA, you can even compress images offline after the first visit.

How to compress an image

  1. Drop your image into the upload area (JPG, PNG, or WebP).
  2. Choose the output format — WebP usually gives the smallest files, JPEG is the most compatible.
  3. Adjust the quality slider: 70–80% is the sweet spot between size and clarity for most photos.
  4. Click compress and preview the result — the new file size is shown before you download.
  5. Save the compressed image to your device.

Frequently asked questions

How much smaller will my image get?

It depends on the source. Photos exported from cameras and phones often shrink by 70–90% at quality 75–80. Screenshots and graphics with flat colors compress less dramatically but still benefit from WebP output.

What quality setting should I use?

For web use and email attachments, 70–80% is usually indistinguishable from the original while cutting the size dramatically. Go higher (85–90) for prints or detailed graphics, lower (50–60) for thumbnails.

Is my photo uploaded to your servers?

Never. The compression runs locally in your browser using the HTML canvas API. Your images stay on your device — nothing is transmitted, stored, or seen by anyone else.

Why convert PNG photos to JPEG or WebP?

PNG stores images losslessly, which makes photo files enormous. Re-encoding a photo as JPEG or WebP trades a tiny, usually invisible amount of fidelity for a fraction of the file size. Keep PNG for screenshots and logos with sharp edges and transparency.

Can I compress images in bulk?

You can drop multiple files and compress them one after another. The tool has no upload queue because there is no upload — each file is processed instantly on your device.
