How to use the image compressor
Drop up to twenty images, choose a quality level and output format, optionally set a maximum width, and click compress. Each image shows the original and compressed size and a download button. Everything happens in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
Why image weight matters for SEO
Images are usually the largest part of a page. Oversized images slow Largest Contentful Paint, one of Google’s Core Web Vitals, and cost you rankings and conversions. A 3 MB screenshot resized to 1,600 px and saved as WebP at 80 percent quality typically drops to under 150 KB with no visible difference.
Recommended settings
- Blog screenshots: WebP, quality 80, max width 1,600 px.
- Featured and Open Graph images: JPEG or WebP, quality 85, 1,200 × 630 px.
- Logos and graphics with flat colours: PNG, or WebP if transparency is not needed.
- Photos: JPEG or WebP at 75 to 85 percent.
Frequently asked questions
Is WebP safe to use everywhere?
Yes. Every modern browser supports WebP, and WordPress accepts it natively.
Does compressing reduce image SEO?
No. Google cares about load time and alt text, not file size in itself. Smaller is better as long as the image is still sharp.
