Compress Images
Shrink photos and images to the file size you need, without uploading them.
Drop your file here
JPG, JPEG, PNG, WEBP · up to 10.0 MB each, 10 at a time (Lifetime: 100 MB, 100 files)
Your files never leave your device. Everything happens in this browser tab.
Upload forms often reject photos over 1 or 2 MB, and big images slow down websites and eat mobile data. Set a target size and this tool reduces quality and, if you choose, dimensions until your image fits, keeping the same format.
Compression runs in a background worker in your browser, so your page stays responsive and your images stay private.
How to use the Compress image tool
Add images
JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 at a time on the free plan.
Set a target size
For example, 1 MB for an application form. Optionally cap the width or height too.
Compress and download
Each file shows its new size. If an image is already smaller than the target, you get the original back.
Tips
- Reducing dimensions saves far more than reducing quality: a phone photo resized to 2000px is often under 500 KB.
- PNG screenshots compress less than photos. Converting to JPG or WebP helps most.
- For passport and ID uploads, check the form's pixel requirements before resizing.
Frequently asked questions
How small can it go?
Most photos reach 200–500 KB without visible problems, especially if you also cap the width. Very small targets reduce quality noticeably.
Does it change the format?
No. JPG stays JPG, PNG stays PNG, WebP stays WebP. Use a converter if you want a different format.
Why didn't my file get smaller?
If it's already well compressed, we give you the original rather than a larger re-encoded copy.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using your device's own image engine. Your files are never sent to Scanlexa or anyone else, which is why it also works offline once the page has loaded.
