PixLite

Compress images in your browser

Files never leave your device
Drop images here or click to select Maximum 20 files at a time

How It Works

PixLite compresses your images to reduce image file size in three simple steps:

  1. Upload — Drag and drop your images into the upload zone, or click to select files from your device. You can upload up to 20 images at a time.
  2. Adjust — Use the quality slider to control the compression level. A setting of 70–85% gives the best balance between file size and visual quality for most use cases, especially when you want to compress JPG without losing quality to the human eye.
  3. Download — Click "Download" on any individual image, or use "Download all as ZIP" to save everything at once.

PixLite is a bulk image compressor and an image compressor without uploading — no file is ever sent to a server, and all processing happens entirely in your browser.

Why Compress Images?

Large image files slow down websites, consume storage space, and use more mobile data. Using a tool like PixLite to compress image for website performance before uploading can make a real difference:

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are my images uploaded to a server?

A: No. PixLite runs entirely in your browser. Your images never leave your device and are never sent to any server.

Q: What image formats does PixLite support?

A: You can compress and convert images to WebP, JPEG, and PNG, so you can convert PNG to WebP online in seconds. WebP is recommended for the smallest file sizes with the best quality.

Q: Will compression reduce my image quality?

A: Some quality loss is expected with lossy formats like JPEG and WebP. At 70–85% quality, the difference is typically invisible to the human eye. PNG compression is lossless, so quality is fully preserved.

Q: What is the maximum file size I can upload?

A: Each individual file must be under 50MB. You can upload up to 20 files per batch.

Q: Which format should I choose — WebP, JPEG, or PNG?

A: Use WebP for web images — it produces the smallest files and is supported by all modern browsers. Use JPEG for photos when WebP is not an option. Use PNG when you need a transparent background.

Q: Is PixLite free to use?

A: Yes, PixLite is completely free with no sign-up required.

WebP vs JPEG vs PNG — Which Format Should You Use?

Format Best For Transparency Typical Size
WebP Web images, photos, graphics Yes Smallest
JPEG Photos, no transparency needed No Medium
PNG Logos, icons, transparent images Yes Largest

WebP is the recommended default for most use cases in 2026, as it is supported by all major browsers and consistently produces smaller files than JPEG at equivalent quality.
