Compress JPG, PNG and WebP images while keeping a practical balance between size and quality. This guide explains the workflow in practical terms so you can get a clean result without unnecessary trial and error.
Before you start
Start with the highest-quality original you have. Avoid repeatedly saving the same JPEG before processing because every extra lossy save can reduce detail. For Image Compressor, the goal is simple: compress JPG, PNG and WebP images while keeping a practical balance between size and quality.
How to use Image Compressor step by step
1. Open the Image Compressor
Go to the GoodFetch Image Compressor. The tool page is dedicated to this one workflow, so you can start without navigating a multi-purpose editor.
2. Add the correct input
Select the supported image, PDF, audio file, document, or code image requested by the tool. A clean original usually produces a more reliable result than a heavily compressed copy.
3. Review the available options
The main controls include Quality, Output format. Choose settings that match the result you actually need rather than changing every option by default.
4. Run the tool
Select Compress image and allow the workflow to finish. Avoid closing or refreshing the page while a file is being prepared.
5. Review the result carefully
Zoom in after processing and check edges, small text, gradients, skin tones, and fine texture before replacing the original.
6. Save the finished result
Download or copy the result only after the final check. Keep the original file separately when the content matters for work, records, publishing, or future edits.

How to get a better result
For web use, balance dimensions, visual quality, and file size instead of chasing the smallest possible file. Start with a clean source, use only the settings you need, and compare the final output with the original before publishing or sending it.
File safety and privacy
Use files you are allowed to process and avoid uploading material you do not have permission to use. GoodFetch is designed for task-specific processing rather than permanent file storage. For details, review the Privacy Policy.
