Make an image smaller without making it smaller

Two different things get called “resize”. This page lowers the file size and leaves the pixel dimensions exactly as they were. Photos stay the same shape, they just weigh less.

Nothing leaves this device. Open your browser's Network tab and watch — your file never appears.

One image or five hundred. Drop them all in at once and every one is compressed to your target on your own device, then handed back as a single zip. Free, no sign-up, no file-size cap, and nothing is uploaded.

Nothing is uploadedYour browser opens the file and does the work. There is no server to send it to, so there is nothing to leak, log or delete later.

No account, no sign-upNothing to sign up for, and no cap on file size. Free runs one file at a time, forever. Pro takes a whole batch in one pass.

No upload, no waitingWork starts the moment you drop the file. A 40 MB photo does not have to travel to a data centre and back.

“Resize” means two different things

Ask to make a photo smaller and you might mean fewer pixels, or fewer kilobytes. Most tools quietly do the first when you wanted the second — you ask for 200 KB and get back an image that is also half the width, which then fails the form that wanted a specific size. This page never touches the dimensions. It lowers image quality until the file fits and leaves the width and height exactly as they were.

Compressing an already-compressed photo

A JPG straight from a camera has already thrown away detail. Compressing it again throws away more, and the second pass is always more visible than the first. If the result looks soft, the honest fix is a higher KB target, not a different tool.

PNG will not get much smaller

PNG is lossless, so there is no quality dial to turn — the only thing that shrinks it is having fewer colours. For a photograph, converting to JPG or WebP will do far more than any PNG optimiser. WebP is usually 25–35% smaller than JPG at the same visual quality.

Nothing is uploaded

The compression runs in your browser, and camera metadata — including GPS — is left behind when the image is redrawn. Here is how that is enforced.

How to compress an image without resizing it

Drop in the images that are too heavy.
Type a target size in KB, or just pick a quality level.
Press Compress. The pixel dimensions come back untouched.
