Guide
How much can a file be compressed?
Phone photos saved as high-quality JPG often shrink by 60–90% when resized to web dimensions and re-encoded at quality 75–80. PNG screenshots of photos shrink dramatically when converted to WebP or JPG. Files that are already heavily compressed, such as JPGs saved at low quality, have little room left, and the compressor will keep the original rather than make a file bigger.
For video and audio, size is driven by bitrate. Lowering the bitrate, the resolution or the frame rate is what makes clips smaller, and the right balance depends on where the file is going.
| Destination | Practical target | Suggested approach |
|---|---|---|
| Email attachment | Under 10–20 MB total | Resize photos to ~2000 px, quality 75 |
| Website hero image | 100–300 KB | WebP or AVIF at the displayed width |
| Online forms / portals | Often 100 KB–2 MB | Use Target size mode |
| Chat apps | Under a few MB per image | Max 1920 px, JPG or WebP |
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about how to compress files.
What is the difference between compressing and resizing?
Resizing reduces the number of pixels. Compression reduces how many bytes are used to store them. Combining both gives the smallest files, and the compressor's Max dimensions option does both at once.
Can I compress an image to an exact size like 100 KB?
Yes. Choose Target size in the Image Compressor and enter the size in KB. It finds the highest quality that fits, and steps the resolution down if needed.
Does compression remove metadata?
Image compression re-encodes the file, which removes EXIF metadata such as GPS location and camera details.
