What to expect

  • Both sizes, side by side

    The result shows the size before and after. If the file didn’t get smaller, it says so instead of showing a saving that isn’t there.

  • Same format back

    A JPG comes back as a JPG and a PDF as a PDF. To change the format as well, use the converter.

  • Free up to 50 MB a file

    Without an account you get 10 operations; a free account gets 10 a day. A video counts as two.

Frequently asked questions

Is file compression really free?

Yes. Without an account you get 10 free operations; a free account gives you 10 a day, with no card. A video counts as two.

Will compression reduce quality?

On lossy formats, a little. JPG, WebP, HEIC and video are re-encoded at a lower quality, which you may notice up close. PNG loses colours, not pixels. Your original file isn’t changed, so if you don’t like the result, keep the original.

Why didn’t my file get smaller?

Some files are already compressed: most JPG, MP4 and ZIP files are. How much a file shrinks depends on what is inside it. If the result is not smaller, the converter says so instead of showing a made-up percentage.

Are my files safe?

Files travel over HTTPS, and the result is reached through a private link that expires after 24 hours on Free (7 days on paid plans).
