Photo file compressor.

Most camera photos shed 60 to 80 percent with no visible change: a 15 MB phone photo lands at 2 to 3 MB and looks identical on a screen. The saving shows under the result.

Not for screens. At quality 70 to 80 the compressed photo and the original are indistinguishable; only a large print might show a difference. Keep the original for the archive and share the compressed one.

Open this page in Safari, tap Choose a file and pick from the photo library, set the options and download. The file lands in Files, from where it can be shared or saved to Photos.

Open the page in Chrome, tap Choose a file and pick from the gallery, compress and download. The result goes to Downloads and can be shared to any app.

Keep EXIF to preserve the date, the camera settings and the location; drop it for privacy and a slightly smaller file. Most social networks strip it anyway.

JPEG, for photographs: it is what cameras write and what every app and site reads. WebP is smaller but some older software and a few platforms still refuse it.

The slider sets the starting quality, and a size cap makes the tool try lower qualities until the file fits under it. The longest-side cap scales the image down first, which is the biggest lever for a photo straight from a camera. Every change reruns the compression and shows the new size.

Then there was nothing to gain: the file was already smaller than any recompression at these settings. The tool keeps your original, says so under the result, and never hands you a bigger file than the one you dropped.

No. The file is decoded, drawn and re-encoded by your browser's canvas, and the page makes no request with it. You can load the page, go offline and keep working; nothing is stored either.

No. The Photo file compressor is free and opens without a sign-in, an account or an install.

Up to 100 MB per file, the limit the tool states under its drop area. A larger file is refused with a plain message instead of being decoded.

No, it takes one file at a time. If you drop or choose several, only the first is used; run the tool again for the next one.

When the output would not be smaller and you kept the same format, the tool hands back your original and says so in the status line.
