# Compressnow

> Compressnow is a free online image compressor. It reduces the file size of JPG, PNG, GIF and WebP images directly in the browser, so images are never uploaded to a server. Output formats are JPG or WebP. Available in 7 languages, with no sign-up.

Compressnow is made for people who need lighter images for faster websites, email attachments, forms with upload limits and social media. Compression runs locally on the user's device (HTML5 canvas), and results update live when settings change.
