Reduce image file size

Lighter files that look exactly the same.

Heavy images slow down websites and bounce off upload limits. Pixa re-encodes your photo with a modern encoder, strips hidden metadata and lets you aim for an exact size, such as under 200 KB.

How it works

  1. Add your images

    Upload a JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC file up to 25 MB, or up to 50 files at once on Pro and Team.

  2. Choose how small

    Pick a preset (high quality, balanced or smallest) or type a target size in KB. You can also convert to WebP and set a maximum width.

  3. Compare and download

    Zoom into the side-by-side preview to check the details, then download the compressed files, with the saving shown for each one.

Why use it

  • Faster pages

    Images are often the heaviest part of a web page. Lighter files load sooner and improve your Largest Contentful Paint.

  • Fits any upload limit

    Hit the exact size a form, a marketplace or an email asks for, instead of guessing with a quality slider.

  • Private by default

    Location and camera data are stripped from the file, so you never publish where a photo was taken by accident.

Questions and answers

How much smaller will my image get?

It depends on the source. Photos straight from a phone often shrink by 60 to 80% with no visible change; images that were already compressed gain less.

Should I choose JPG, PNG or WebP?

JPG for photos, PNG for screenshots, logos and transparency, and WebP for images on a website, where it is typically 25 to 34% smaller than a JPG of similar quality.

Is compressing the same as resizing?

No. Compression keeps the pixel dimensions and stores them more efficiently; resizing reduces the number of pixels. For the smallest files, combine both with the maximum width option.

Does compression remove transparency?

Not with PNG or WebP output, which keep it. Converting to JPG fills transparent areas with white or a color you choose.

Can I compress several images at once?

Yes, on Pro and Team: drop up to 50 files, apply one setting to all of them and download everything in a single ZIP.
