A USEFUL LITTLE GUIDE

What PNG compression can—and cannot—do

PNG stores image pixels losslessly and supports transparent backgrounds, making it useful for logos, diagrams and screenshots. Browser canvas encoding cannot adjust PNG quality like it can for JPG or WebP. Re-encoding may produce a smaller file, but it may also leave the size unchanged.

If a PNG exceeds your target, the tool explains the limitation and offers explicit conversion buttons. WebP can preserve transparency with lossy encoding. JPG removes transparency and uses white behind the image. Optional dimension limits reduce the pixel count, but that changes the image resolution.

YOUR FILES. YOUR BUSINESS.

Small files.
A big commitment to privacy.

Your photos hold moments, memories and sometimes sensitive details. That’s why compression happens on your device. Your images are not uploaded to our servers.

How we protect your privacy
BEHIND THE SMALLER FILE

How image compression works.

Not every image needs every byte. For JPG and WebP, we search for a quality level that fits your chosen size. If that’s not enough, we gradually reduce the dimensions, keeping the original proportions.

PNG works differently: its browser encoding is lossless. If your target needs a format change, you make that choice. You can always compare the preview and check the final size before downloading.

GOOD TO KNOW

A few little answers.

Everything you need to make
your next image a little lighter.

Does compressing a PNG remove its transparent background?

No. Keeping your image in PNG format or converting it to WebP preserves transparent pixels. Only converting to JPG replaces transparency with a solid white background.

Are my images uploaded?

No. Compression happens directly inside your browser on shrinker.app. Your images are not uploaded to our servers. Selecting, previewing and downloading use local files and browser Blob URLs.

How do I compress an image to a specific KB size?

Choose a preset or enter a custom size, then select Compress Image. For JPG and WebP, the tool searches quality settings and reduces dimensions if necessary. Check the result size before submitting it elsewhere. One KB in this tool equals 1,024 bytes.

Does compression reduce image quality?

JPG and WebP compression can lose detail. The tool tries to retain the highest quality that meets your target at each resolution. PNG encoding is lossless, although resizing a PNG still removes pixel detail. Always check the preview.

Why is my PNG still larger than the target?

Canvas doesn't expose a lossy quality control for PNG. If lossless re-encoding can't reach your limit, choose an explicit conversion to WebP or JPG, or try larger target settings. WebP can preserve transparency; JPG uses a white background.

Can I use this on my phone?

Yes. Use a current browser, choose a JPG, PNG or WebP image under 20 MB, and save the result to your device. Images above 40 megapixels or 16,384 pixels on either side are rejected to limit memory use.
