Frequently asked questions

Can any PNG be compressed to 50 KB?

Not always. A large photographic image with millions of colours may not reach a small target without visible quality loss, because PNG is lossless for colour data. Screenshots, logos and flat-colour graphics compress dramatically better.

Would JPEG be a better choice than PNG?

For photographs, usually yes — JPEG is built for continuous-tone images and will be far smaller at the same perceived quality. Keep PNG when you need transparency, or for text and sharp edges where JPEG introduces halos.

Is my image uploaded to compress it?

No. Compression runs on a canvas in your browser, so the file never leaves your device. That also means there is no file size cap imposed by a server — only what your own machine can hold in memory.

Pro tips

  • Select or drop several images at once — they all aim at the same target, and Download all saves each one under its own source name rather than a pile of files called the same thing.
  • PNG has no quality dial, so the PNG option can only reach a target by reducing the dimensions. Choose JPEG or WebP to keep the full resolution.
  • WebP typically lands 20-30% below JPEG at the same visible quality, so switching format is often a bigger win than pushing the target down.
  • Each result says how it got there — the quality the search settled on, or the scale a PNG was reduced to. If it could not reach the target it tells you that instead of quietly missing it.

About Image Compressor

Aim at a file size rather than guessing at a quality percentage — set the target and the tool works toward it. That is the difference between meeting an upload form's 2 MB cap first time and trying quality settings until one sticks.

Shrink a PNG toward a ~50 KB target so it loads fast and fits tight upload limits, without installing lossy desktop software. Compression happens on a canvas in your browser, so the image is never uploaded.

Reduce the file size of PNG and JPEG images toward a target size while keeping them web-ready. Smaller images load faster, improve Core Web Vitals and save bandwidth without a visible drop in quality for most photos.

Drop in a folder's worth at once. Up to twenty pictures share one target and one Download all, each listed against the weight it started at and named after the file it came from. Anything already lighter than the target is handed back untouched — re-encoding a picture that is done makes it bigger, not smaller.

Compression is not uniformly effective, because it depends entirely on what the picture contains. A photograph of foliage, gravel or crowd detail compresses poorly — there is genuine information in almost every pixel — while a clear sky, a studio background or a flat graphic compresses enormously. That is why one image drops to a tenth of its size at a quality setting another barely responds to, and why targeting a fixed file size takes several encoding passes to converge rather than a single calculation.

Common use cases

  • Meeting a strict upload limit on a form or job portal
  • Shrinking screenshots before attaching them to a ticket
  • Cutting page weight for images already on your site
How it comparesUnlike TinyPNG which charges $0.80-2.00 per 500 images after free tier, our compressor takes twenty to a batch and as many batches as you like at no cost, offering more control than Compressor.io's auto-only approach while supporting more formats than ImageOptim.
