Why photos are so large in the first place

A modern phone camera produces images of 12 megapixels or more — several megabytes each. Almost nothing you upload actually needs that. A profile picture is displayed at a few hundred pixels; a document photo needs to be readable, not printable at poster size. Compression removes detail your viewer was never going to see.

Format matters as much as quality

JPEG discards fine detail to save space and is the right choice for photographs. PNG is lossless — it never throws information away, which makes it excellent for screenshots, logos and line art, and a poor choice for camera photos, where it can produce files several times larger than JPEG at no visible benefit. WEBP typically beats both at the same visual quality and is supported by every current browser.

If a PNG photograph is refusing to get small enough, the real fix is usually converting it to JPG rather than compressing it harder — the format conversion tools here do that in the same place.

Nothing is uploaded

Image compression runs entirely in your browser through the canvas API. Your photos are never transmitted anywhere, which matters more than usual for pictures of identity documents.

Questions people ask

How do I get an image under 100 KB?

Compress in steps and watch the output size. If it will not go low enough, reduce the pixel dimensions with the Resize tool first — a smaller image compresses much further.

Which is better for photos, JPG or PNG?

JPG. PNG is lossless and produces very large files for photographs. Keep PNG for screenshots, logos and anything with sharp edges or transparency.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Compression happens on your own device, in the browser.

Photo ka size kaise kam kare?

Compress Image kholo, photo daalo aur slider kam karo — ya ≤100 KB, ≤200 KB jaisa size chuno. Photo upload nahi hoti, sab browser me hota hai.
