Why use this workflow?

Local compression is useful for WordPress, email, upload limits, and privacy-sensitive photos. You can compare the result, resize dimensions, remove metadata, and download the optimized file.

Frequently asked questions

Does the image leave my device?

No. The compression canvas runs in your browser. Image files are processed locally in your browser and are not uploaded for compression. The site may still load normal analytics and third-party resources.

Can I try a different quality?

Yes. Use the quality slider and optional resize or target-size controls on the compressor page.
