Compress an Image Online — Chat, Email, or a Link Preview

Resize and compress a JPEG, PNG, or WebP in the browser. Chat and email keep the frame. Link preview crops to 1200 by 630. The file is not uploaded.

A smaller picture, still on your machine.

The image compressor reads the file in the browser, shrinks it, and gives you a JPEG to download. Chat caps the long side at 1280 pixels. Link preview crops the center to 1200 × 630.

Quality

The slider is JPEG quality. Lower is a smaller file and a softer photo. If the result is already small, the original was already compressed. Pair a 1200 × 630 image with the Open Graph tool when you are setting a link preview.
