Oversized images are one of the most common causes of a slow website or a bounced email attachment. Toolsyy’s Image Compressor shrinks JPG, PNG, and WebP files right in your browser, with a live before/after size comparison.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Choose an image file.
- Adjust the quality slider and pick an output format.
- Click “Compress Image” and compare the before/after file size.
- Download the compressed version.
A side benefit: your location gets stripped
Photos taken on a phone carry hidden EXIF metadata — most notably the GPS coordinates of where the picture was taken, plus the camera model and a timestamp. Post that photo somewhere without thinking, and you may be publishing your home address along with it.
Because this tool redraws the image onto a canvas before re-encoding it, none of that metadata survives. We tested it with a geotagged JPEG: the original carried GPS coordinates and the camera make and model, and the compressed output contained no EXIF block at all. Running a photo through the compressor is a quick way to scrub it before sharing.
FAQ
Does compressing remove EXIF and GPS data?
Yes. The image is redrawn onto a canvas before it is re-encoded, so GPS coordinates, camera make and model, and timestamps are all dropped. The downloaded file contains no EXIF block.
Which output format should I pick?
WebP usually gives the smallest file for the same visual quality. JPG is the safest choice for maximum compatibility. PNG is best when you need transparency.
Does this resize the image dimensions?
No — only the file size and encoding quality change. The width and height stay exactly as they were.
Is there a file size limit?
No hard limit, but since compression runs entirely on your device, very large images will simply take a little longer to process.
