Step by step
- Drop your image into the tool box, or tap to choose it.
- Set the longest-side limit to match or exceed your photo's original pixel width or height so it does not resize.
- Lower the quality slider (for example, to 72–80%) to reduce the file size.
- Press Compress and download the file with its original dimensions intact.
At a glance
| Goal | What to change | What stays the same |
|---|---|---|
| Smaller file, same pixels | Lower quality (72–80%) | Original width and height in px |
| Maximum size reduction | Lower both quality and pixels | Aspect ratio stays proportional |
| Print-ready file size cut | Keep pixels high, 80–85% quality | Sharpness for large prints |
Related questions
Can you reduce file size without changing pixel dimensions?
Yes. Lowering the compression quality shrinks how much data is stored per pixel without altering the width or height.
Will my image still fit exact pixel requirements?
Yes, as long as the longest-side setting is not smaller than your image's current longest side.
How much smaller will the file get if I keep original dimensions?
A 4 MB photo compressed at 72–80% quality without resizing still drops significantly, though not as much as when you also scale down huge camera resolutions.
