Choose one photo. You get a JPG that is usually much smaller. "Smaller" and "Smallest" also reduce very large photos to a size that still looks sharp on phones and websites.
If your photo is already small, we tell you instead of giving you a bigger file. See-through parts of PNG images become white.

Questions
How much smaller will my photo be?
It depends on the photo. You see how much smaller it is before you save. If the photo is already small, we tell you instead of giving you a bigger file.
Can I compress to a size, like 100 KB?
Yes. In How small, choose Under 500, 200, 100, 50 or 20 KB. The photo is made smaller in pixels and its quality lowered until the file fits. There’s also a page for compressing an image to 100 KB.
Will it lose quality?
A little. Good quality keeps photos up to 4096 pixels; Smaller and Smallest also reduce very large photos to 2560 and 1600 pixels, which still look sharp on phones and websites.
Which images work?
JPG, PNG, HEIC and other photos your browser can open, up to 100 MB. You always get a JPG, so see-through parts of PNG images become white.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The photo is compressed on your phone or computer. Location and other hidden photo details are removed.
