# Make photos smaller without uploading

> Fast image compressor. Shrink photo file size for email, forms, and websites. Always free. 100% private. Works on any device.

Shrink a file so it is easier to send, attach, or put on a website. Fast, always free, and 100% private in any browser.

Online Image Converter. Language: English. https://onlineimageconverter.net/compress

## How to start

1. Drop the photos you want to shrink. They stay on your device.
2. Use the quality slider, or type a size in MB to stay under if a form has a limit.
3. Download the smaller files.

## Notes

- Logos and tiny text look worse if you compress too hard. Keep quality higher, or stay on PNG.
- You do not need the lowest setting. A little smaller is often enough.
- Start from the original photo, not a file you already compressed three times.

## Price

Always free. There is no account, no paid tier, and no watermark.

## What this site does not do

- There is no upload API, no account, and no paid tier. Photos are not sent to or stored by the site.
- Output formats are JPG, PNG, WebP, and still GIF. SVG can be opened as an input and saved as PNG with transparency.
- HEIC and HEIF can be opened in current Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. A local decoder runs in the tab when the browser cannot decode HEIC itself. AVIF stills can be opened in current browsers.
- There is no convert-to-HEIC. Animated AVIF is not supported. GIF output is a still picture. An animated GIF becomes one frame.
- This site does not make PDFs. For converting images into a PDF, use JPG to PDF on [❤️ LoveThisPDF](https://lovethispdf.com/tools/jpg-to-pdf), which also runs in the browser.
- It does not add Content Credentials (C2PA). It can strip them on Remove EXIF & GPS.
- Converting JPG to PNG keeps the picture opaque. Remove background can clear one flat colour.

## Requirements

Any phone, tablet, or computer with a browser. Nothing to install. HEIC and AVIF convert in current Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. A decoder runs in this tab when the browser cannot open HEIC itself. Very old browsers may still need a JPG from the iPhone. Very large images may fail if the device runs out of memory. Results can differ between browsers because encoders (especially WebP and JPEG quality) are implemented by the browser vendor.
