Does this image compressor upload my photo?

No. Compression runs in your browser with WebAssembly codecs. The photo is not sent to PhotoCompressor, and there is no account to store it.

What is a photo compressor used for?

A photo compressor shrinks a picture so email, forms, shops and web pages accept it and load it faster. The goal is a smaller file that still looks right at the size you display.

Can I compress more than one image?

Yes. Drop a batch, paste extra images, and download them one by one or as a ZIP. There are no caps on count or file size.

Will GPS and camera data stay in the file?

No. The image is drawn onto a canvas before encoding, so EXIF, GPS and camera metadata are removed.

Does it work offline?

After the first visit the app shell and codecs can be cached as a progressive web app. You can then compress without a connection.

About PhotoCompressor

Screenshot of the PhotoCompressor homepage — The PhotoCompressor homepage

PhotoCompressor is a free web application that compresses images directly in your browser using WebAssembly codecs. Photos are processed locally without being uploaded to any server, making it completely private. The tool supports batch compression of multiple formats including JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF and GIF, with features like quality sliders, target file size options, and pixel resizing.

The compressor removes EXIF and GPS metadata during the compression process and can work offline after the first visit when cached as a progressive web app. Users can drag and drop photos, paste from clipboard, adjust compression settings, and download results individually or as a ZIP file. There is no file size cap or account required.
