Image compression guide

What is image compression?

Image compression reduces the amount of data needed to store a picture. Lossy formats such as JPG and WebP can discard subtle visual detail to create much smaller files, while PNG uses lossless compression that preserves every pixel but may produce a larger result. The best setting balances appearance with file size for your specific image.

How to compress an image

  1. 1. Add a JPG, PNG, or WebP image up to 20 MB.
  2. 2. Choose quality, output format, and optional dimensions.
  3. 3. Compress, compare file sizes, then download the result.

Benefits of smaller image files

  • • Faster website and app loading
  • • Less bandwidth and storage use
  • • Quicker email and message attachments
  • • Better performance on slower connections

JPG vs PNG vs WebP

JPG

A practical choice for photographs and gradients. It creates small files but does not support transparency.

PNG

Best for graphics, screenshots, sharp edges, and transparent backgrounds when lossless output matters.

WebP

A modern web format that often delivers smaller files while supporting both quality control and transparency.

Private, local image processing

Your image is processed locally in your browser and is never uploaded. Compression uses your browser’s built-in Canvas encoder; Kivrum does not send the file to a server or external API. Closing or resetting the tool releases its temporary preview data.

Image compressor FAQ

Is the Image Compressor free?

Yes. It works in your browser without signup, uploads, or paid processing credits.

Which image formats can I compress?

You can open JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WebP files up to 20 MB, then export as JPG, PNG, or WebP.

Are my images uploaded?

No. Your image is processed locally in your browser and is never uploaded.

Why can a compressed image become larger?

A high quality setting, lossless PNG output, or conversion from an efficient source format can produce a larger file. Try WebP or JPG, lower the quality, or reduce the dimensions.

What happens to transparency when I choose JPG?

JPG does not support transparency, so transparent areas are placed on a white background.

Does changing dimensions preserve the aspect ratio?

Yes by default. You can turn off Maintain aspect ratio if you intentionally need a different shape.
