Image Compressor & Resizer
Drop in an image, adjust the quality and dimensions, and download a smaller version. Everything happens in your browser, so your file is never uploaded anywhere.

JPG, PNG, WEBP and more. Everything is processed locally in your browser.
How it works
We draw your image onto an HTML canvas at the dimensions you choose and re-encode it with the quality level you set, then show you the before/after file size so you can judge the trade-off. PNG files stay PNG (lossless); everything else is encoded as JPG.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reduce an image file size for free?
Use the Softstribe Image Compressor. Upload your image, adjust the quality slider (lower = smaller file but more quality loss) and optionally set a maximum width. See the before/after file size comparison live, then download the compressed version.
What is the best image compression setting for websites?
For web images, 70-85% quality typically provides the best balance of visual quality and file size. Images compressed to under 200KB load fast on most connections. Use WEBP format for the best compression.
Can I resize an image to specific dimensions?
Yes. Enter a target width in pixels and the tool scales the image proportionally. Alternatively, reduce quality without resizing to keep dimensions unchanged.
Does compressing an image reduce its quality permanently?
Yes, lossy compression (used in JPG) is permanent. Once compressed and saved, the lost quality cannot be recovered. Always keep the original file as a backup.
