Remove metadata

Compress a copy, then compare it

Use compression when the delivered file can be smaller without losing the detail it needs. Do not replace your only original before checking the result.

  • Accepts one JPG, PNG, or WebP file; choose original, WebP, JPEG, or PNG output.
  • Quality can be set from 1 to 100; lower values can create visible artifacts.
  • Enable metadata removal when the delivered copy should not retain embedded metadata.

This tool processes files temporarily on the server. The default cleanup window is 30 minutes; an already efficient image can become larger, so compare before sharing.

Most server file tools have a default 30-minute retention period. Expired files are removed by scheduled cleanup, so this is not an exact deletion timestamp.

HEIC, WebP, AVIF, PNG, or JPG: How to Choose an Image Format

Balance image size and quality

Before you start

  • Keep the original image and choose the output format your destination accepts.
  • Use a representative image when deciding on a quality setting for a larger batch.

Check the result

  • Review fine text, faces, gradients, and sharp edges at the size users will see.
  • Compare dimensions, file size, and retained metadata before publishing.

Know the limit: Smaller files usually require a trade-off; repeated lossy compression can make artifacts more visible.
