How to reduce photo file size
Make a photo easier to upload, email, or store by reducing its file size.
Why use File Chisel?
File Chisel is designed around the outcome you need rather than a long list of technical settings. Choose a supported image, set the requirement, process it, and download a separate finished copy.
Is my image uploaded?
For the image tool on this page, processing happens in your browser using browser image APIs. The source file is not sent to a File Chisel server by this application.
What happens to the original?
Your original stays on your device. File Chisel creates a separate output file for download.
Tips for a better result
- Use JPG for photographs when transparency is not required.
- Use the exact target size when a website or form provides a KB or MB limit.
- For very large images, reducing dimensions can cut file size more than quality changes alone.
