ImgCompress review
A free browser tool for batch image compression, resizing, and format conversion.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
ImgCompress is a free web tool for compressing, resizing, and converting images, aimed at individuals and small-scale workflows. Its batch compressor accepts JPG, PNG, WebP, and GIF files, with adjustable quality and a maximum-width setting. A separate resize tool lets users set width and height, with an option to maintain the aspect ratio. Images can be downloaded individually or in bulk after processing.
Its browser-based approach is a notable fit for users who want to work without registration: the vendor says processing happens locally in the browser and images are not sent to its servers. That makes ImgCompress relevant for people who prefer not to upload image files to a service for processing. It is available through the web, so it does not offer a listed desktop application or broader deployment choice. Email is the listed support channel.
The main trade-off is scope. ImgCompress provides lossy compression alongside resizing and format conversion; it does not provide a lossless mode. An API and metadata controls are also not among its listed capabilities, which may make it a poor fit for automated pipelines or workflows that need metadata management. Choose it for occasional or batch browser-based image work, especially when resizing and simple conversion matter alongside compression. Look elsewhere if your process depends on lossless output, API access, or metadata controls.
ImgCompress pros and cons
- Where it wins
- Compress multiple JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF images in one batch.
- Adjust quality and set a maximum width during batch compression.
- Resize by width and height, preserve aspect ratio, and download in bulk.
- Where it doesn't
- Compression is lossy, so it does not offer lossless processing.
- No API is listed among its features.
- Metadata controls are not listed among its features.
