Image Compressor

Q: What does Image Compressor do?

It reduces image file size so you can meet upload limits or improve page weight while keeping a usable image.

Q: Will quality drop?

Often slightly — that is the tradeoff. Compare the result on a sample before compressing your full set.

Q: Is the browser tool free?

Yes for typical browser use. REST and MCP share 500 free requests per month on one API key.

Q: Does Image Compressor have a REST API and MCP?

Yes. Call https://api.toolyour.com/api/v1/convertors/compress-image (multipart) or connect MCP at https://api.toolyour.com/mcp with the same key.

Image Compressor reduces file size for a supported image. Upload one file, run compression, then download the smaller image on ToolYour.

What is Image Compressor?

Use Image Compressor when an upload limit or page-speed budget needs a smaller file. Upload one image, run compression, and download a smaller image file. Processing happens over HTTPS for the job and is not kept as a permanent gallery. The same endpoint is available via REST and MCP on one monthly quota.

What are the key features of Image Compressor?

Smaller downloads

Reduce file size so images fit form limits and load faster on the web.

One file per run

Compress a single image at a time so you can compare before/after quality.

Temporary server processing

Uploads are processed over HTTPS for the job, then discarded — not kept as a personal media library.

API and MCP ready

Call the same compression from apps or agents with one API key.

How do you use Image Compressor?

Upload an image

Drop a file within the tool size limit (typical ~50 MB).

Run compression

Start the job and wait for the smaller output.

Download the result

Save a smaller image file and verify it still looks acceptable for your use.

When to compress

Use compression before CMS uploads, email attachments, or LCP-sensitive hero images. Keep an original master if you need lossless edits later.

Privacy

Do not upload photos with private faces, documents, or EXIF you are not comfortable sending over HTTPS. Strip sensitive metadata first when needed.

Troubleshooting

If the file barely shrinks, it may already be heavily compressed. Try a different format (WebP/AVIF) or resize dimensions first.
