Smaller image files
How to get smaller image files
The best result usually comes from combining modern format conversion, quality adjustment and sensible resizing.
Convert JPG or PNG to WEBP
WEBP usually gives better size reduction for photos and web sharing.
Lower JPG or WEBP quality
A quality setting around 60-75% often keeps photos looking good while reducing size.
Resize large photos
Large camera images can be much bigger than needed for websites, email or messaging.
Use 1600px or 1920px width
These widths are practical defaults for many web sharing and publishing workflows.
Be careful with PNG
PNG may not shrink much unless converted to WEBP or resized because PNG is lossless.
Use Auto optimize
ExifSafe can try several local WebP outputs and pick the smallest successful file.
Privacy first
Compression stays local
ExifSafe does not upload your images. Compression happens locally in your browser using standard Web APIs. We do not store images, collect event data, use analytics, set cookies or require an account.
Limitations
What to expect
- JPG and WEBP compression can reduce file size significantly.
- PNG is lossless and may not always become smaller.
- Very large images depend on browser memory.
- This is a lightweight browser-based compressor, not a professional image optimization pipeline.

Straight answers about local image compression.
Does ExifSafe upload images for compression?+
No. Images are compressed locally in your browser.
Which formats are supported?+
JPG, PNG and WEBP.
Will image quality change?+
JPG and WEBP compression can reduce quality depending on the quality setting. PNG export keeps visible image quality but may not always reduce size.
Why did my PNG get larger?+
Browser PNG export may encode the image differently from the original file. PNG is lossless, so size reductions are not always guaranteed.
Is the original image changed?+
No. ExifSafe creates a new compressed copy for download.
