Image Compressor
Compress your images instantly
In today’s digital world, image size matters more than ever. Whether you’re a blogger, web developer, e-commerce store owner, or social media creator — large image files slow down your website, waste storage, and hurt your SEO rankings. That’s where SelectAsk’s free Image Compressor comes in.
Our online image compression tool lets you compress multiple images at once, choose your output format (WebP, JPG, or PNG), preview the compressed file size before downloading, and control the quality level — all for free, with zero sign-up required.
What Is the SelectAsk Image Compressor?
The SelectAsk Image Compressor is a powerful, browser-based tool that reduces the file size of your images without sacrificing quality. You can drag and drop your images or click to upload — and the tool handles the rest instantly.
Unlike other online tools that make you download the file before showing the result, SelectAsk shows you the compressed file size before you even hit the download button. This means you stay in full control of your output every step of the way.
Key Features of SelectAsk Image Compressor
1. Batch Upload — All Image Types at Once
You don’t need to compress images one by one. SelectAsk lets you upload multiple images in one go — and they can be of any format. Mix JPGs, PNGs, and WebPs in a single batch and compress them all simultaneously. This saves huge amounts of time for designers, developers, and content creators.
2. Download in WebP, JPG, or PNG
Once your images are compressed, choose the output format that best suits your needs:
- WebP – The modern web format. Smallest file size with excellent quality. Best for websites and SEO.
- JPG – The universal format. Great for photos and compatible with everything.
- PNG – Best for images with transparency or sharp graphics like logos and icons.
3. See File Size Before Downloading (Industry First!)
This is what truly sets SelectAsk apart from every other free image compressor out there. Most tools make you download the file first — only then do you find out if the compression was good enough.
SelectAsk shows you the compressed file size right on screen, before you download. If the size isn’t what you wanted, adjust the quality slider and get a better result — no wasted downloads, no guessing.
4. Adjustable Compression Quality — Per Image or Global
Not every image needs the same level of compression. SelectAsk gives you full control with a quality slider that you can adjust for your entire batch or for each individual image separately. Want one image at 90% quality and another at 60%? No problem — the tool handles it effortlessly.
