Smaller photos that still look right
A photo that is too heavy quietly blocks you: the form that rejects your listing picture, the email that will not attach, the website that takes ten seconds to load. Compress Images makes JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC files smaller while they still look right on a screen. Choose Extreme when a portal caps the size, Recommended for everyday sharing, or Less when the detail matters. Because WebP stores the same picture in roughly a quarter fewer bytes than JPG, the format option is where most of the saving comes from — keep it on automatic and the tool picks it for you whenever your browser supports it. Photos never leave your device: everything is decoded, resized, and re-encoded in your own browser. No ads on the page, no watermark on the result, and no account needed.
Shrink the picture. Keep it looking like the picture.
Add your images, pick how small you want them, and download. No ads on this tool page — just a straight path from a photo that is too heavy to one that fits an email, a form, or a listing.

Compress Images FAQ
Is it free to compress images on PDFTrusted?
Yes. Compress Images is included in your free daily uses, up to 20 images or 100 MB in one go. There are no ads on the page and no watermark on the files you download. Pro raises the limits if you compress photos every day.
Do my photos get uploaded to a server?
No. Your images are decoded and re-encoded in your own browser, so the files never leave your device. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page has loaded and the tool still works.
Which format should I choose — WebP, JPG, or PNG?
Leave it on Keep the best format unless you have a reason not to. That writes WebP whenever your browser supports it, which is roughly a quarter smaller than JPG for the same picture and still keeps transparency. Pick JPG if something you upload to only accepts JPG, and PNG only if you need lossless output and can accept a bigger file.
Will I lose the transparent background of my logo?
No. Images that may carry transparency keep it, and the tool avoids writing them to JPG, which has no transparency channel. If you pick JPG yourself, transparent areas are filled with white instead of turning black.
How much smaller will my photos get?
It depends on the source. A 12-megapixel phone photo usually drops to a third or less of its size at the Recommended level. Screenshots and already-optimised WebP files save less, and sometimes nothing at all — in that case you get the original file back rather than a bigger one.
Does compressing change the picture size in pixels?
Only if you ask it to. Keep original size re-encodes without touching the dimensions. The other options cap the longest edge at 2560, 1920, 1280, or 800 pixels, and the tool only ever shrinks — it never stretches a small image up.
Can I compress images on my iPhone or Android phone?
Yes. Open this page in Safari, Chrome, or any modern browser and pick photos from your camera roll. Nothing to install, and HEIC photos from an iPhone are handled directly on Apple devices.
What if I need to send the photos as a PDF instead?
Use Image to PDF to turn one photo or a whole batch into a single PDF. That is the format most forms, portals, and print shops actually ask for.
