Lossless vs lossy compression
PNG images are compressed losslessly — no quality is lost. JPEG and WebP images are compressed at 92% quality (near-lossless) — visually indistinguishable from the original at a fraction of the size.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does Image Compressor do?
- Compress JPEG, PNG, and WebP images in your browser. Lossless compression for PNG, near-lossless (92% quality) for JPEG and WebP. No upload required.
- How much will my files be compressed?
- Compression results vary. Already-optimised JPEGs may see little improvement. Unoptimised PNG screenshots often compress significantly.
- Is JPEG compression lossy?
- Technically yes, but at 92% quality the difference is visually imperceptible for most images.
- Is this tool free to use?
- Yes. All Skybin developer tools are free with no account, API key, or usage limits.
- Does my data get sent to a server?
- No. Processing runs in your browser whenever possible. Sensitive input never leaves your device unless a tool explicitly fetches a URL you provide (e.g. OG Validator).
- Can I use this on mobile?
- Yes. The tools work in modern mobile browsers, though a desktop screen is easier for large JSON or PDF workflows.
- How is this different from desktop apps?
- There is nothing to install or update. Open a bookmarked URL and start working — ideal for quick tasks during development or support calls.
- Are there keyboard shortcuts?
- Most tools support standard paste (Ctrl+V / Cmd+V) and select-all in text areas. Copy buttons provide one-click output.
- Does Skybin store my history?
- No. We do not log tool inputs or outputs. Refreshing the page clears in-memory state unless the tool encodes state in the URL.
