About this tool

PNG gets smaller in a browser mainly by resizing, because it has no JPEG-style quality slider. Flat colors, screenshots, and logos are what PNG is for. Photographs usually belong in JPEG or WebP if you need them small. Transparency can stay in PNG; a JPEG would put a solid background behind a logo, so do not switch formats by accident.

Compress PNG stays on this device. The download is the copy you keep, and Weesize does not store a second one. Close the tab when you are finished and the bytes are gone.

  • No upload: the pixels never go to an image host.
  • Speed: the file does not travel to a server and back, so the wait is only the work itself.
  • Quality: the original is kept when the new file would be worse or is not actually smaller.
