How to shrink an image file

  1. Choose or drop your images above.
  2. The default settings shrink most photos a lot. Need a hard limit? Enter a target size in KB.
  3. Download the smaller files individually or as one ZIP.

Three ways to make a file smaller

Lower the quality

A quality of 70–80% keeps photos looking the same while removing data you can’t see.

Reduce the dimensions

Phone cameras capture 4000+ pixels across, far more than any screen needs. The default limit of 2400 pixels removes that excess.

Switch to a modern format

WebP files are usually 25–35% smaller than JPEG at the same visual quality, and every modern browser supports them.

Frequently asked questions

What is the fastest way to shrink a photo for email?

Drop it in with the default settings. Most phone photos drop from several megabytes to a few hundred kilobytes.

Does it remove EXIF and location data?

Yes. Saving through the tool writes a fresh image file without the original EXIF metadata, which includes camera details and GPS location.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. Everything happens inside your browser on your own device. Your images are never sent to Tech9Pros or anyone else, so the tool also works with private photos and documents.
