Modern phone cameras produce 2–5 MB photos. That's great for printing but too heavy for email attachments, website uploads and slow connections. Reducing the size keeps things fast without an obvious quality drop.

  1. Open the Compress Image tool —
  2. Upload your photo —
  3. Pick a target size — 100 KB or 200 KB is a good balance for sharing.
  4. Download —
💡 WhatsApp already compresses photos when you send them normally — but for email, forms and uploads, compressing first gives you control over the exact size and quality.
