When to Use Each Tool

Use Image Compressor when:
  • Drag and drop up to 20 JPG, PNG, or WebP images onto the upload area, or click to browse your files.
  • Move the quality slider to balance file size and visual quality. A setting of 75–85% typically reduces size by 60–80% with no visible degradation.
  • Review the before/after file sizes and the compressed preview for each image.
Open Image Compressor
Use Background Remover when:
  • Drag and drop a JPG, PNG, or WebP image onto the upload area, or click to browse. You can upload up to 5 images at once.
  • The AI model automatically removes the background. On first use, the model downloads once (~170 MB) and caches in your browser — subsequent images process instantly.
  • Drag the divider left or right to compare the original image with the background-removed result.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. All compression happens inside your browser using JavaScript. Your images never leave your device. This is the safest way to compress sensitive or private images.

What image formats are supported?

JPEG/JPG, PNG, and WebP. You can drag and drop any mix of these formats and compress them all at once.

How good is the background removal quality?

This tool uses the RMBG-1.4 model from BRIA AI — a state-of-the-art segmentation model that produces results comparable to paid services like remove.bg. It handles portraits, product photos, animals, logos, and complex subjects like hair and fur.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. The AI model runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly. Your images are never sent anywhere — all processing happens on your device. This makes it completely private and safe for sensitive or confidential images.
