How It Works

Compress your images in four simple steps. No technical knowledge required.

1

Upload Your Images

Drag and drop your images into the upload area, or click to browse your files. We support JPEG, PNG, and WebP formats.

  • Upload single images or multiple files at once
  • Maximum file size depends on your device capabilities
  • Files stay in your browser - nothing is uploaded to servers
2

Adjust Compression Settings

Use the quality slider to find the perfect balance between file size and image quality. Choose your output format.

  • Quality ranges from 10% (smallest) to 100% (highest quality)
  • Use preset buttons for quick selection (Low, Medium, High, Best)
  • Convert between formats (JPEG, PNG, WebP) if needed
3

Preview and Compare

See the before and after comparison to ensure you're happy with the results. Check file size savings in real-time.

  • Interactive slider to compare original and compressed versions
  • File size comparison shows exact bytes saved
  • Compression ratio displayed as percentage
4

Download Your Images

Download compressed images individually or as a ZIP file for batch processing. Your compressed files are ready instantly.

  • Single images download with "-compressed" suffix
  • Batch downloads packaged as a convenient ZIP file
  • Original files remain unchanged on your device

Technical Details

Just Compress Images uses your browser's built-in Canvas API for image processing. When you compress an image:

  1. The image is loaded into memory as a bitmap
  2. The Canvas API re-encodes it at your specified quality
  3. The compressed result is created as a new file
  4. Everything happens in Web Workers to keep the UI responsive

This approach ensures your images never leave your device while still achieving compression results comparable to server-side tools.
