Phone cameras save photos with far more data than you can see. A 12-megapixel photo from a recent phone is often 3–5 MB. Compression rewrites the file so it uses less space while keeping the same pixels, which makes it faster to upload, email, share and load on a website.
The three levels
| Level | Typical saving on phone photos | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Light | 30–50% smaller | Prints, photos you’ll edit again |
| Balanced (default) | 60–80% smaller | Sharing, email, websites |
| Strong | 80–90% smaller | Smallest possible file, thumbnails |
Savings depend on the photo. A busy scene with leaves and grass compresses less than a portrait against a plain wall. PNG screenshots compress less than photos because PNG is lossless; saving them as WebP is usually far smaller.
How to do it here
- The Compress tab is already open. Pick Light, Balanced or Strong.
- Drop your photo. The summary shows “same pixels” plus your format and level.
- Hit Repixel it ✨. The result shows before → after and how much smaller it is.
Common mistakes
- Compressing an already-compressed file. WhatsApp and Facebook have already squeezed their copies. Start from the original from your camera roll.
- Using compression to meet a KB limit. Compression levels are about quality, not exact sizes. For “under 50 KB”, use KB size.
- Saving screenshots as JPG. Text gets fuzzy edges. Keep PNG, or try WebP for a much smaller file with sharp text.
- Expecting huge savings on tiny files. A 40 KB image doesn’t have much left to remove.
Compression vs resizing
People often mix these up. Compression keeps the width and height and makes the file smaller by storing the picture more efficiently. Resizing changes the number of pixels. If your photo is 4000 pixels wide but will only ever be shown at phone size, resizing saves far more than compression. That’s what the “Also shrink to max 2048 px” option is for: it does both in one go and still never makes the file bigger.
Is it private?
Yes. Nothing is uploaded. The compression engine runs in your browser, which also means it’s quick even on a slow connection, and you can compress as many photos as you like.

FAQ fr
Will compressing change my photo's size in pixels?
No. Compress keeps the exact width and height. Only the file gets smaller. If you also want fewer pixels, tick 'Also shrink to max 2048 px'.
Which level should I pick?
Balanced is right for most photos: usually 60–80% smaller with no difference you'd notice on a phone. Light is for photos you'll print or edit. Strong is for the smallest file when quality matters less.
Can compressing make my file bigger?
Not here. If a photo is already well compressed, we keep your original file and tell you, instead of handing you something bigger.
How do I get under a specific KB limit?
Use KB size mode instead. It finds the best quality that fits under your exact limit, like 50 KB or 100 KB.
Does it remove location data?
Re-encoded files don't carry your photo's EXIF data, including GPS location. Only the original, if we keep it because it's already small, is unchanged.
