About Compress Image

Compress image files when a photo is too heavy to email, a product page loads slowly, or an upload form turns away anything over a few megabytes. Add JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF or AVIF files and pick a level. Recommended looks the same and is much smaller, Strong gives the smallest files with a slight quality loss, and Light keeps the most detail. You can also set the quality yourself. When a form names an exact limit such as 50 KB, Compress Image to KB hits that size for you.

JPG and WebP are saved again at a lower quality. PNGs stay PNG and are cut down to a 256-color palette (128 on Strong), which suits screenshots, logos and charts; for photos, choose WebP or AVIF under More options. Camera, date and location info stays in the file unless you untick it, and the result screen shows how much smaller everything got.

How to use Compress Image

  1. 1
    Add your images

    Click Choose files, drop images on the page or paste a screenshot with Ctrl + V. JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF and AVIF all work.

  2. 2
    Pick a compression level

    Recommended suits most photos. Choose Strong for the smallest files, Light for the best quality, or Custom quality to set a number.

  3. 3
    Click Compress Image

    Each file is compressed in an isolated process on our server. To switch to WebP, AVIF or JPG, open More options first.

  4. 4
    Download the results

    Save files one by one or all at once as a ZIP, and check the sizes before and after.

Why use Cubfile for this

  • Three levels plus custom

    Light, Recommended and Strong cover most needs, and Custom quality lets you pick any value from 10 to 100.

  • Smaller formats on request

    Keep the original format, or save as WebP or AVIF, which are usually far smaller than JPG at the same visual quality.

  • Photo info kept

    Keep photo info (EXIF) is on by default, so camera, date and location stay. Untick it to strip them while you compress.

  • Clear savings report

    The result tells you how many percent smaller your files are, with the total size before and after.

FAQ

Compress Image: questions and answers

Will people notice the difference after I compress an image?
Not with Recommended at normal viewing sizes, which is tuned to look the same. Strong trades a little detail for the smallest file, and Light changes the least. Start with Recommended and compare.
Why is my PNG still large after I compress the image?
PNG is lossless, so photos saved as PNG stay heavy even with a reduced palette. Open More options and save as WebP or JPG instead. Screenshots and graphics usually shrink well as PNG. Making the picture smaller in pixels with Resize Image helps too.
Can I compress images in bulk for free?
Yes. Add several files and they're done in one go. Visitors get 2 tasks in total and free accounts 2 a day, with files up to 50 MB; VIP has no task limit, takes files up to 1 GB and up to 50 files per task.
Does compressing remove the location from my photos?
Only if you want it to. Keep photo info (EXIF) is ticked by default. Untick it and the GPS position, camera model and date are left out of the compressed copy.
Are my photos safe on your server?
Yes. They're uploaded over HTTPS, compressed in an isolated process and deleted automatically after one hour, or right away if you click Delete my files now. We never look at them or use them to train AI.
