How to image compressor
PicConverter's image compressor shrinks photo file size dramatically while letting you control quality — all on your phone, with nothing uploaded. Here's how:
- Open PicConverter and tap Gallery to select the image you want to compress (or several for a batch).
- Choose Compress — choose the Compress option and set your quality level.
- Tap Preview and see the new size and savings before you export.
- Save — save the smaller image to your gallery or share it.
Why compress images? Large photos are slow to send, fill up storage, and get rejected by upload limits. Compressing reduces file size — often by 50–80% — while keeping the image looking great, so it's faster to share and easier to store.
How much can you compress an image?
It depends on the photo and the quality you choose. Many images compress by 50–80% with little visible difference. PicConverter shows the estimated size and savings before you export, so you stay in control of the quality-versus-size trade-off.
Frequently asked questions
Is the image compressor free?
Yes. PicConverter compresses images for free, with no watermark, no account, and no upload.
Does compressing reduce quality?
You choose the balance. Compress hard for the smallest file or keep quality high — the app previews the result before you export.
Can I compress many images at once?
Yes. Select a batch of photos and compress them all in a single run.
