Make files smaller

Reduce file size. Keep the file type.

Compress JPEG, WebP, and AVIF images with an adjustable quality setting. Each eligible result keeps its source format, so this workflow stays focused on file size.

How it works

Configure the batch you need.

Choose one quality setting for every included JPEG, WebP, or AVIF image. Each result keeps its source file type, and completed sizes are measured after encoding.

01

Choose images

Add JPEG, WebP, or AVIF files. PNG stays visible but is not included.

02

Choose quality

Use one quality setting for every included eligible image.

03

Compare the result

See the measured size, preview the image, and download one result or the completed batch.

Good to know

Understand the result before you start.

PNG does not use this quality setting. Change it to WebP or AVIF if you need a much smaller file.

  • File sizeSavings depend on the image and source encoding. Completed sizes are measured.
  • File typeJPEG stays JPEG, WebP stays WebP, and AVIF stays AVIF.
  • Image qualityLower quality can reduce size further but may remove visible detail.
  • Original fileThe source remains unchanged while you review the result.

Built for one image or a full batch.

Every accepted image starts selected. Process the full group or adjust the selection first. The default limit is 100 images at up to 50 MB each. Advanced settings can raise the batch limit to 500. Unusually large images may be declined when their pixel dimensions exceed what the browser can safely process.

Questions

Helpful answers.

Which files can I compress?

The adjustable quality workflow supports JPEG, WebP, and AVIF when the required browser codec is available.

Why is my PNG not included?

This workflow does not provide adjustable lossy PNG compression. Change it to WebP or AVIF when a much smaller file is the goal.

Will every result be smaller?

No. A source may already be efficiently encoded. Image Shed measures the result and reports it honestly.

Does compression change the file type?

No. Each eligible result keeps its source file type.

Can I compress a batch?

Yes. Start with up to 100 images at 50 MB per file. Advanced settings can raise the limit to 500.
