Image Compressor

Frequently asked questions

How do I compress an image online for free?

Open FreeKitHub’s Image Compressor, add your file, set quality (and format if needed), then compress and download. It’s free and runs in your browser.

Do you upload my images?

No. Compression happens locally in your browser. Files never leave your device — 0 bytes uploaded.

Will compressing reduce image quality?

Lower quality settings reduce file size and can soften detail. Start with a medium setting and compare the preview before downloading.

Can I compress to exactly 200 KB?

Yes — use Target max size (KB) or the 20 / 50 / 100 / 200 KB presets. The tool adjusts quality to stay under your limit. A dedicated Compress to Exact KB page is coming soon.

Which formats are supported?

Input: JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and BMP. Output: JPEG, WebP, or PNG.

Is PNG harder to compress than JPG?

Often yes. PNG is lossless and may stay large; converting photos to JPG or WebP can yield smaller files. Use Image Converter if you need a format change first.

Can I compress images for email?

Yes. Compress here, check the resulting size, and attach. Use a target KB preset if your mail system has a size limit.
