About Compress image
Create a lighter photo for sharing or an upload allowance. The browser photo path produces JPG, so use Compress PNG when transparency must survive. Check any quality or dimension changes; a failed size reduction returns your original image.
Compress image runs locally without uploading your selected file or requiring an account. Although file selection allows up to 1 GB, available device memory can limit this particular task.

Common questions
Will Compress image return a file larger than my original?
No. If compression cannot make a smaller file, the original is returned instead. Already efficient files may not shrink. Review the Compress image result before using it.
Can I set Compress image's size target in KB?
Yes. Enter your target in the size field. Image compression can lower quality and dimensions to approach it. Use Upload Ready when exact dimensions must remain unchanged. Review the Compress image result before using it.
Will Compress image keep transparent pixels?
The browser photo compressor saves JPG, which does not support transparency. Use Compress PNG for a PNG workflow. Review the Compress image result before using it.
Does Compress image guarantee acceptance by an upload form?
No. File size is only one requirement. Check the format, dimensions and visual quality too. Upload Ready can check the requirements you enter. Review the Compress image result before using it.
Which settings can I adjust in Compress image?
Compress image exposes target size. These choices apply to this task's output, so inspect the saved file after changing them.
Does Compress image upload my file for processing?
Your selected file stays on this device while Compress image runs. There is no file upload for this operation, although its memory demands can still exceed a phone or computer's available resources.
