We allow you to download images as ZIPs so that you can download multiple compressed images at once, and also because Zip compression may help to compress the file even further.
Image compression makes the file sizes of images smaller, while usually preserving as much of the original quality and resolution as possible. This makes it easier to share and store images on your hard drive or online cloud storage service.
The processes and algorithms used for compression vary, but they usually work by recognizing patterns in your image's binary data and also by identifying and removing non-essential information. This data is then used to convert the image into a format that requires fewer bytes (1s and 0s) to be interpreted and displayed by computers and devices.
In addition to reducing the file size of your images, allowing you to store more on your device or cloud storage service such as pCloud, iCloud, Google Drive, or DropBox, compressed images load faster on web browsers. This improves the user experience for visitors and for search crawlers, which is important for things like SEO, and especially important for users accessing your site with low-speed mobile data. They will also send faster over text message or email.
Other reasons to compress your images include situations where you may be using an outdated, low-storage media format such as Compact Disc (CD) or similar. If you're planning to store many images on a CD, USB flash drive, SD card, or similar mobile media storage format, compressing your photos first will allow you to fit as many as possible.
No, there is no limit to how many images you can compress using our tool. You can upload and compress as many images as you'd like, free of charge. Whether you have one image or one hundred images to compress, our tool can handle it. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to compress your images and reduce their file size.
Our image compression tool can compress PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF, and other common image file types. If you have an image that is not one of these file types, you may need to convert it to a PNG, JPG, or GIF first before compressing it. You also can use our video to GIF converter to convert your video to a GIF first, and then compress it using this tool.
Our image compression tool allows you to set the quality level of the image, which determines how much the image is compressed. The quality level ranges from 1 to 10, with 1 being the lowest quality and most compression, and 10 being the highest quality and least compression. You can try different quality levels to find the right balance between image quality and file size.
Note that if you upload a JPG or other optimized image format and select a Quality setting of 10, the image will not be compressed. This is because JPG images are already an optimized image format, and a setting of 10 on our compressor simply converts an image to JPG format and does limited other processing to it.
No. Our conversion script runs entirely on JavaScript, which is a programming language that runs on your web browser using your computer's CPU. We use an Open Source library called compressor.js to power our tool.
With ConvertSecure, your files never leave your computer and are seen by nobody other than you and whom you choose to share it with. In fact, our web host won't even let us allow users to upload files to our server.
Most similar online image compressors upload your image to a database or data center and offload the processing to a large server. This is because some of them will then hold your image hostage, forcing you to sign up for an account or provide your email address in order to download your photos. Not with ConvertSecure.
We take your privacy and security seriously, which is why we do not even attempt to store your data or files. As they say, the best solution to a problem is often the easiest.
All users must ensure they have the right to upload and convert the videos they use on our platform. Unauthorized use of copyrighted material is prohibited. By pressing "Compress Image", you confirm you have the rights to upload, distribute or modify the content being uploaded and converted.
By using this service, you agree to the following terms:
We value your privacy. This tool does not store any uploaded videos, images, or converted GIFs on our servers. All conversions are done locally on your device. We do not collect any personal information or track your usage of the tool.
However, we do utilize CloudFlare Web Analytics to monitor traffic to our website. We do not track usage of the tools, button clicks, link clicks, number of files uploaded, file names, or individual pages visited. We simply monitor the number of times the site is visited, whether the visitor is unique, and what country/region their IP address is from.
