What Compress PNG does
Compress PNG is an online service that reduces PNG file size by optimizing the image's palette and metadata entirely within the user's browser. The result is a smaller file that retains the original visual quality and integrity. Users can upload images by dragging and dropping or pasting via Ctrl+V, and the processed files remain on their device, never being uploaded to a server. The service supports various formats including JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and TIFF without file size limits or requiring sign-up. Beyond simple compression, it offers options to adjust quality, set a target file size in KB or MB, and resize image dimensions. A key feature is the ability to remove EXIF metadata such as camera models, GPS location, and timestamps, which further reduces file size. The interface includes an estimated size slider and a compare view so users can check quality against the original before saving. Results can be downloaded individually or as a combined ZIP archive.

Best for
This option suits users who need to reduce PNG file size without uploading sensitive images to a server, particularly those working with logos, icons, screenshots, and flat graphics that benefit from palette optimization.
Limitations
- Compression is most effective for logos, icons, screenshots, and flat graphics; photographs see limited benefit when kept as PNG
- Converting photographs to WebP or AVIF formats will achieve greater size reduction than PNG compression
- Quality adjustments are tailored to the image type and may not offer a manual quality dial in the traditional sense
Compress PNG FAQ
- Are my images uploaded to the server when using Compress PNG?
- No, all compression happens locally in your browser. Your images are never uploaded or sent anywhere, ensuring privacy and no size caps or queues.
- Can I compress photographs effectively using this PNG tool?
- The tool works well for logos, icons, screenshots, and flat graphics. For photographs, converting to WebP or AVIF will save far more space than compressing as PNG.
- What metadata can be removed from my PNG files?
- You can remove EXIF metadata including camera model, GPS location, and timestamps, which contributes to smaller file sizes.
- How do I know if the compressed quality is acceptable before downloading?
- The interface provides an estimated size update as you move sliders and includes a compare view so you can check the quality of the result against the original at full size before saving.
