Upload your JPG or PNG and move the quality slider to find the smallest file size that still looks sharp. Our smart compression balances detail and size, so webpages load faster, email attachments stay under limits, and SEO improves due to better Core Web Vitals scores. Supports JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, SVG formats for businesses and creators.
usageJPG is ideal for photos because it compresses gradients well. PNG suits graphics with flat colors and transparency. WebP is a modern format offering excellent quality at smaller sizes. SVG is vector-based and doesn't need compression. Use our compressor to optimize each format depending on your content and destination for e-commerce and web design.
technicalThe compressor reduces file size by optimizing data, not dimensions. If you also need smaller width and height, first use the image resizer, then compress the result. This two-step workflow maintains clarity while producing small, shareable files for web and mobile. Essential for e-commerce product listings and digital marketing.
featuresFor most photos, a 70–80% quality setting preserves detail while trimming file size dramatically. Product images with text or fine lines may need slightly higher quality. Check a 100% zoom preview to confirm typography and textures remain clean before downloading. Optimized for e-commerce platforms and business websites.
tipsYes. Compression happens on our secure servers; uploads are auto-deleted after processing and never shared. There are no watermarks, and you can download the compressed image immediately, making it perfect for confidential client assets and brand images that require privacy.
privacyAbsolutely. The tool reduces megabytes to manageable sizes that meet email limits and CMS upload restrictions. Smaller images publish faster on blogs, Shopify, and WordPress, and they're friendlier for users on slower mobile connections, improving overall UX and engagement. Essential for digital marketing and content creation.
featuresThe quality slider runs from 20 to 100. For most photos, 60–80 is the sweet spot — a big drop in file size with no visible loss. Go lower (40–60) for email and thumbnails where small size matters most, and higher (85–95) to preserve fine detail, text or logos. The live preview and size readout update as you drag, so you can watch the file shrink and stop the moment quality starts to suffer.
featuresYes — enter a number into Target file size (KB) and the server automatically searches quality levels (and reduces dimensions if needed) to land your output right at or under that size, disabling the quality slider while it's active. This is the fastest way to hit a hard limit like a 100KB upload cap instead of trial-and-error dragging the slider.
featuresEach preset jumps the quality slider straight to a tested value — High compression (30%), Medium (50%), Balanced (70%) and High quality (90%) — so you can pick a starting point by name instead of guessing a percentage, then fine-tune from there if needed.
usageYes — switch to Batch mode to queue multiple photos, compress every one with the same quality, format and target-size settings, and download them all together as a single ZIP. Batch processing is a Premium feature; single-image compression with the live preview stays free.
pricingYes — enter a target file size in KB and the server compresses to fit it, lowering quality and, if needed, dimensions until the image comes in under your number. It is the quickest way to compress a JPEG to 100KB, 50KB or 20KB for upload forms and portals that enforce strict size limits. Leave the field empty to use the quality slider instead.
featuresYes, on Premium — batch mode is a Premium feature that turns this into a bulk image compressor: apply one shared quality setting to up to 100 photos and download the results as a single ZIP. It is the fast way to compress product catalogs, blog libraries and photo archives in one pass.
featuresYes — choose PNG as the output format and transparent areas are preserved while the file is optimized. If your image has no transparency, JPEG or WebP will usually give a much smaller file at the same visual quality; the live preview shows the size saving for each format before you download.
technicalYes — Pixoate supports batch and bulk processing. Switch to Batch mode, add up to 100 images, set your options once, and every image is processed with the same settings before you download a single ZIP. Bulk processing is a Premium feature; the output uses the same quality and settings as single mode.
featuresYes — with bulk processing you configure the settings a single time and they apply to every item in the batch, up to 100 images. There is no need to repeat the setup per item, and Temporary uploaded and generated files are processed securely and deleted automatically.
