Smaller images, faster sites
Large images slow down websites and bounce off email limits. Most photos can shrink 50–90% with no visible difference at 70–80% quality.
Pick the right format
WebP gives the smallest files and works in all modern browsers. JPG is the most compatible. PNG is lossless and best for graphics with sharp edges.

What quality should I use?+
70–80% is the sweet spot for photos: much smaller files with no visible loss.
Should I set a maximum size?+
Yes for web use — 1600–2000 pixels on the long side is plenty for most screens.
Will transparency be kept?+
Choose WebP or PNG to keep transparency. JPG puts a white background behind transparent areas.
Is this tool really free?+
Yes. No sign-up, no watermark, no daily limits. It's free because it runs on your own device.
Are my files uploaded to a server?+
No. Your files are processed entirely inside your browser and never leave your device. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads.
Is it safe for confidential documents?+
Yes. Because nothing is uploaded, contracts, bank statements, IDs and medical records stay on your device. There's no server copy that could be stored, shared or leaked.
Do I need to create an account or install anything?+
No. Open the page and use the tool — no account, no email, no extension and no download.
How large can my files be?+
There's no fixed limit. Because the work happens on your device, the practical limit is your browser's memory — files of a few hundred MB usually work fine on a laptop. Very large files are faster in the Mac app.
Which browsers are supported?+
Any modern browser: Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox, Brave and Opera, on Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, iPad and Android.
Will my file have a watermark?+
No. Your result is exactly what you made — no watermark, no added pages and no branding.
Is there a desktop app?+
Yes — ilovepdfmac for Mac does all of this and much more (Word, Excel and PowerPoint to PDF, a full PDF editor, real compression) offline, for a one-time $9.99.
