Private image compressor

Compress an image to a target size

Choose a file-size limit and create a smaller JPG, PNG, or WebP copy locally in your browser. Your original image stays on this device.

Small enough to send

Set a real file-size limit before you download

Choose a practical target instead of guessing at quality settings, while keeping the source image on your device.

Common size targets

Choose 50 KB, 100 KB, 200 KB, 500 KB, or enter a custom limit for an upload form or email attachment.

Verified result

The tool only offers the download when the new file is at or below the target you chose.

Format stays in your control

Keep JPG, PNG, or WebP, or choose another output format deliberately. Transparent areas are never silently flattened.

Local browser processing

The image is decoded, compressed, previewed, and downloaded in this browser. It is not uploaded to REMOVEMYEXIF.

How it works

Compress an image in three steps

01

Choose an image

Open a JPG, PNG, or WebP file from your device.

02

Set a target size

Pick a common limit or enter the exact KB limit required by the place you are uploading to.

03

Download the verified copy

The tool balances quality and dimensions, then offers a download only when the new file meets your limit.

Common uses

When a smaller image file matters

Upload limits

Prepare photos for forms, applications, marketplaces, and portals that reject files over a fixed size.

Email and messaging

Send an image that is easier to attach, quicker to upload, and less likely to hit a mailbox limit.

Web publishing

Make a lighter copy for a blog, listing, or content system without sending the source image to an online compressor.

Image compression FAQ

Useful details before you compress

Will the compressed image always meet my target size?

Only if the browser can meet the limit while keeping safe dimensions. If it cannot, the tool shows an error instead of offering a file that exceeds your target.

Does image compression reduce quality?

JPG and WebP compression can trade some detail for a smaller file. The tool first adjusts compression quality, then reduces dimensions only when necessary to meet the size target.

What happens to transparent PNG or WebP images?

PNG and WebP can keep transparent areas. If you explicitly choose JPG, which has no transparency, the tool fills transparent areas with white rather than changing formats without telling you.

Does the image leave my device?

No. Your browser reads, compresses, previews, and exports the image locally. REMOVEMYEXIF does not receive the file.
