HOW IT WORKS

A smaller image with a clear preview

See the quality, dimensions and file-size result before you download.

01

Upload & Preview Your Image

Choose any JPG, PNG, or WebP photo up to 20 MB and inspect dimensions and initial file size.

02

Set Quality or Target Size

Select High, Balanced, or Extreme compression presets, or specify an exact KB or MB target size.

03

Compare & Download

Inspect side-by-side visual fidelity and download your optimized image instantly with zero server uploads.

INTELLIGENT COMPRESSION

Optimize Images Without Sacrificing Visual Sharpness

High-resolution photos from modern smartphone cameras frequently exceed 5 MB to 15 MB in size. Large images slow down web pages, fail email size caps, and trigger portal rejection.

Custom KB Target Sizing

Need your passport photo or signature under 50 KB or 100 KB? Instead of manually guessing quality sliders, simply type your exact byte requirement. Our iterative engine calculates the highest possible visual clarity that fits your limit.

  • Instant convergence on requested KB / MB constraints
  • Eliminates portal upload errors and file rejections
  • Calculates optimal JPEG or WebP quantization matrices

Side-by-Side Visual Inspection

Never download an over-compressed, blurry image. Inspect side-by-side zoom previews comparing original textures with the compressed output before saving to disk.

  • Real-time visual comparison with pixel-level inspection
  • Clear metrics: Original size vs compressed size and % reduction
  • Live dimension scaling and resolution feedback

100% In-Browser Privacy

Personal family portraits, identity documents, and sensitive marketing assets stay secure. We Make PDF executes all image compression routines locally in your browser memory.

  • Zero network transmission of photo bytes
  • No server caching or remote telemetry
  • Instant speed without bandwidth throttling

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Frequently Asked Questions About Compressing Images

Find answers to common questions about optimizing JPG, PNG, and WebP images online.

How does the custom KB or MB target feature work?

We Make PDF uses an iterative binary search compression algorithm executed in your browser. When you specify a target like 100 KB, the engine tests compression parameters until it finds the optimal balance of quality and resolution that fits strictly under your target threshold.

Does compressing a PNG image remove transparency?

No. We Make PDF preserves alpha transparency layers for PNG and WebP files. Transparent logos, product cutouts, and UI badges maintain their transparent backgrounds without turning black or white.

Which image format offers the best compression: JPG, PNG, or WebP?

WebP generally provides the best compression ratio, delivering 25%–35% smaller file sizes than JPEG at equivalent visual quality while supporting transparency. JPEG is best for universal backwards compatibility, and PNG is ideal when lossless crispness is non-negotiable.

Are my private photos uploaded to any remote server?

Never. We Make PDF compresses all images locally inside your device browser memory via HTML5 Canvas and WebAssembly. Your photos, private documents, and client assets never leave your computer or phone.

Can I compress images for government, exam, or job portal submissions?

Yes! Portals often strictly mandate image limits such as "passport photo under 50 KB" or "signature under 20 KB". Our custom KB target is engineered specifically to satisfy these strict portal requirements without tedious manual trial and error.
