Image Compressor

Most of a web page's weight is images, so shrinking them is usually the single biggest performance win you can make — smaller images load faster, cost less bandwidth, and directly improve the Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) metric that Google's Core Web Vitals measure. This tool draws your selected image onto an HTML canvas and re-exports it as a JPEG at the quality level you pick (10–100%). JPEG uses lossy compression: as you lower the quality, the encoder discards fine high-frequency detail the eye barely registers, and the file shrinks accordingly. Two things are worth knowing because they follow from how the tool is built. First, the output is always a JPEG, regardless of whether you fed it a PNG or WebP — so a PNG with a transparent background comes out with that transparency flattened (typically to black), which makes this the wrong tool for logos or images that need an alpha channel. Second, it recompresses at the original pixel dimensions; it does not resize. For the largest savings you'll often want to scale a 4000px photo down to the width it's actually displayed at first, using a resizer, then compress. For everyday photos and JPEG hero images, dropping quality to 70–80% usually cuts the file dramatically with no visible difference.
