What is Image Compressor?
Upload limits, email attachment caps, and Core Web Vitals budgets all push the same job: make the image smaller without ruining the subject. ToolYour Image Compressor accepts one raster image (typical browser limit 10 MB), runs lossy or format-aware compression, and returns a smaller file you can compare against the original.
Honest limits: Compression trades bytes for quality — hero photos may show slight softening. Already-heavily-compressed JPGs may barely shrink; try resizing dimensions or switching to WebP/AVIF when you need more savings. EXIF metadata may remain unless you strip it elsewhere.
Same endpoint in browser, REST (POST https://api.toolyour.com/api/v1/convertors/compress-image), and MCP (compressImage) on one API key.
What are common questions about Image Compressor?
Need a different format instead?
Try Image to JPG or Image to WebP when the target platform requires a specific type. For vector icons, use SVG Compressor instead of this raster tool.
How much smaller will my image get?
Depends on source format and content. Photos often shrink 30–70%; PNG with flat graphics varies. Compare before/after on one file first.
Will compression hurt quality?
Often slightly — that is the tradeoff. Zoom in on faces and text edges before publishing compressed heroes.
REST API and MCP?
REST: multipart field image to https://api.toolyour.com/api/v1/convertors/compress-image. MCP: compressImage or plan_task for “compress this image” at https://api.toolyour.com/mcp.
Which formats are supported?
Common raster inputs (JPG, PNG, WebP, and others offered on the upload control). Output format follows the tool’s compression path. For SVG icons use SVG Compressor.
What size limit should I expect?
Browser uploads are capped around 10 MB per image (ZIP/RAR supported). Resize oversized camera dumps before upload when needed.
What are the key features of Image Compressor?
Temporary processing
Uploads are processed for the job, not stored as a media library.
Browser, REST, and MCP
Batch compress via API in build pipelines or agent workflows.
Smaller downloads
Meet CMS upload caps and reduce LCP weight on marketing pages.
One image per run
Compare byte size and visual quality before compressing a full set.
How do you use Image Compressor?
Download and compare
Check file size and visual quality before replacing production assets.
Run compression
Wait for the optimized file to be ready.
Upload an image
Drop a JPG, PNG, or WebP within the ≈10 MB browser limit.
When to compress
Before CMS uploads, Shopify/WooCommerce product galleries, email newsletters, and hero images on landing pages. Keep an uncompressed master for print or re-editing.
Privacy
Do not upload IDs, medical images, or private photos with GPS EXIF unless you accept HTTPS processing.
Page speed context
Large images dominate LCP on content sites. Pair compression with correct dimensions (serve 1200px wide, not 4000px) for the biggest win.
