How to Compress Images Online for Free (In Your Browser)

How to Compress Images Online for Free (In Your Browser)

Shrink JPG, PNG and WebP files without uploading them anywhere.

Large images slow down websites, bloat emails and fill up storage. Most online compressors work by uploading your photo to a server — which is slow, and not great if the image is private.

Here's a better way: compress in your browser, nothing uploaded.

The free tool

PixelFix Compress Images runs entirely in your browser. Drag in files, pick a quality level, choose WebP/JPEG/PNG — and download. No account, no upload, no watermark. And it's completely free (no limits).

How to compress in 30 seconds

  1. Open the compressor
  2. Drop in one or many images (JPG, PNG, WebP)
  3. Drag the quality slider — you see the new size instantly
  4. Pick a format: WebP is the 2026 standard and 25–35% smaller than JPEG at the same quality
  5. Optionally cap the width (1920, 1280, 800)
  6. Hit Download — done

How much can you shrink it?

At quality 75–80, most photos shrink 4–5× with no visible difference to the eye. Blog images can go as low as quality 60. E-commerce product photos keep 85%+.

Why "in your browser" matters

  • Private — the image never leaves your device
  • Fast — no upload round-trip
  • Free, unlimited — no daily caps, no credits, no watermark

Made by PixelFix — nine free browser tools for photos.
