Our image compressor and converter processes your images entirely inside your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API — your files are never uploaded to any server, never transmitted over the internet, and never stored anywhere. This makes it the most privacy-respecting image tool available: what you upload stays with you. The tool supports three major web image formats: WebP (Google's modern format offering the best compression), JPEG (universal compatibility, ideal for photos) and PNG (lossless transparency support). The quality slider lets you fine-tune the output from 10% (smallest file) to 100% (maximum quality), with a live before/after size comparison showing the exact byte reduction in real time.
What is WebP and why should you use it?
WebP is a modern image format developed by Google and released in 2010. It achieves 25–35% smaller file sizes than JPEG at equivalent visual quality, and 26% smaller than PNG for lossless images, while supporting both transparency (like PNG) and animation (like GIF). All major browsers — Chrome, Firefox, Safari (since v14), Edge — support WebP. Converting your website images to WebP is one of the single most impactful steps you can take to improve your Core Web Vitals score (specifically Largest Contentful Paint) and therefore your Google Search ranking. Every 1-second reduction in page load time improves conversion rates by an average of 7% according to Cloudflare research. Use our URL Slug Generator to also optimise your image file names for SEO.
Why image optimisation matters for SEO and performance
Images are typically the largest assets on any web page — often accounting for 50–70% of total page weight. Google's PageSpeed Insights explicitly penalises pages with unoptimised images, and since Core Web Vitals became an official ranking factor in 2021, image size directly influences search position.
