Compressing your images
This can take up to a minute — a little longer for several files. Please keep this tab open.
Araluma's image compressor makes your photo's file smaller while keeping its format. Your JPG stays a JPG, your PNG stays a PNG, and the same goes for WebP and AVIF. Drop one image or a whole set onto the grid, then press the single Compress button. Download your result as one file, or a set as a zip. Each picture is re-saved at a chosen quality. Most photos look the same as before at a fraction of the size. Your dimensions and filename stay exactly as they were. There is no quality slider and no format picker to fuss over. Your files are processed, then removed automatically a short time later, and a button lets you delete them the moment you have your download. There is nothing to learn and nothing to install first. Pick your images and press Compress to start.
Drop one image or a whole set onto the grid. Then press the single Compress button. Each file comes back smaller in the same format it went in as, your JPG as a JPG, your PNG as a PNG. A real progress bar tracks the work. When it finishes, you download one file on its own, or your set as a single zip. There is nothing to configure first. You add your pictures and press one button.
The compressor handles the four formats that matter on the web: JPG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF. Each file keeps its own format through the whole job. The tool never turns your JPG into a PNG. It only makes your file lighter. If you do need a different format, that is a separate convert step. Here, the format you bring in is the format you get back.
Compressing re-saves your picture at a chosen quality. Most photos look the same as the original at a much smaller size. Your JPG, WebP, and AVIF give up a little fine detail you are unlikely to notice. Your PNG is re-optimized with no change to how it looks. Your dimensions and your filename stay exactly as they were. Only the weight comes down, and if you also want to change those dimensions, that is what resize is for.
Your files are sent to be compressed, then removed automatically a short time after the job. That is usually within a couple of hours. A button lets you delete them the instant you have your download. They are never used to train anything, and never handed to a third party. Each result also gives you a link you can share, pointing at the same short-lived copy.
Three reasons come up again and again. Sharing: a lighter photo slips under the size limit on email and messaging apps. Speed: your smaller image makes a web page load faster, which helps readers and ranking. Storage: a folder of listings or holiday photos takes far less room when every file is trimmed. Match the compression to wherever your picture is headed.
Both work the same way. Drop a single photo and it comes back on its own, smaller and in its original format. Drop a set and the whole batch runs together, with a real progress count rather than a fake bar. It returns as one zip. Up to thirty images go in a single run. So a whole folder of your pictures is one press of Compress, not one tedious file at a time.
Drop one image or a whole set onto the grid, or pick them from your device. Up to thirty in a single run.
One button starts the job. There is no quality slider or format picker, the recommended setting is applied for you.
A real progress bar tracks each file as it is made smaller, so you always know how far along the job is.
See how much smaller each file became, and confirm it still looks right, before you keep it.
Save the smaller image, or the zip for a set, to your device. Your files are removed automatically a short time later.
Compressing is one step. Trim the picture to what matters, fit it to an exact size, or change its format for where it is going.
A little, by design, but it is made to be hard to see. JPG, WebP, and AVIF give up a small amount of fine detail to drop the size, and at the recommended setting most photos look the same as the original. A PNG is re-optimized with no change to how it looks at all.
You can compress JPG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF, the four main web formats. Each file keeps its own format through the job, so a JPG comes back as a JPG and a PNG as a PNG. The tool never swaps one format for another.
Yes. Drop a whole set onto the grid and one press of Compress runs them all together, then hands you a single zip. A single image comes back on its own instead. Up to thirty pictures go in one run, so a folder is one job, not many.
Not far, and not for long. Your pictures are compressed, then cleared automatically soon after, with a button to remove them at once. Nothing you send is ever used to train a model or passed to anyone else, and each download link stays valid only while that short-lived copy exists.
It depends on the photo and its format, but a typical photo drops a lot of weight with no visible change. The result screen shows exactly how much smaller each file became, so you can see the saving before you keep it.
No. Compressing keeps each file in the format it arrived in, a JPG stays a JPG, a PNG stays a PNG, and the same for WebP and AVIF. If you want a different format, that is a separate convert step, not part of compressing.
Usually to share or to speed things up. A lighter photo slips under the size limit on email and messaging apps, loads a web page faster, and takes less room in storage. The smaller file does the same job while asking less of every connection.
You do not need an account, an install, or any settings. Open the page, add your image or images from your device or a drag, and the one button does the rest. Your smaller files arrive ready to save, either singly or bundled, with a count of how much each one shrank.
