Why compress images?

Oversized images are the single most common cause of slow web pages, rejected form uploads, and bloated email attachments. Compressing an image re-encodes it more efficiently — usually shaving 50–90% off the file size with little or no visible difference.

This tool lets you set a target file size (for example "under 200 KB") and automatically finds the best quality level that fits. It shows the before/after sizes for every file so you can judge the tradeoff yourself.

How it works

Drop your JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC images above, choose a target size or quality, and press Compress. The tool progressively re-encodes each image in your browser, reducing quality and — if needed — dimensions until it hits your target.

Unlike most online converters, FileLark never uploads your files to a server. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using modern web technology, which means it works offline once the page has loaded, there are no file size queues or daily upload limits, and your images can never be stored, scanned, or leaked — they simply never leave your device.

Tips for the best results

Photographs compress far better as JPG or WebP than as PNG — if your photo is a PNG, converting it to WebP first can cut the size by 5–10× on its own. Keep PNG for screenshots, logos and graphics with sharp edges or transparency. For web use, aim for under 200 KB for large hero images and under 50 KB for thumbnails.

Frequently asked questions

How much can images be compressed?

Typical photos shrink by 60–90% depending on the source. A 4 MB phone photo usually compresses to 300–600 KB with no visible quality loss. PNGs with photographic content benefit the most — converting them to JPG or WebP while compressing can cut sizes by 10× or more.

Is this tool really free?

Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermarks, and no daily limits. The site is supported by ads, and because conversions run in your browser rather than on our servers, there are no processing costs to pass on to you.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. All conversion happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API and WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device, which makes this tool safe for private photos and confidential documents.

Can I compress to an exact file size?

Yes — set a target size (like 200 KB) and the tool automatically searches for the best quality settings that fit under it, reducing dimensions as a last resort for very aggressive targets.

Which formats can I compress?

JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, BMP, GIF and HEIC input files are supported. Output is JPG or WebP for the best compression, or PNG when you need lossless output with transparency.
