Compress Images Locally — Shrink Files Without Uploading

Online compressors make you upload a file just to make it smaller. TinyPS compresses images on your device: drag a quality slider, strip metadata, and export — nothing leaves your computer.

Local compression features

Quality slider for JPEG/WebP.
True lossless passthrough — untouched images are not re-encoded (0% quality loss).
Metadata stripping to remove EXIF (location, camera).
Target file size mode that shrinks to a goal you set.

How to compress without uploading

Open your image in TinyPS.
Open the compression panel and move the quality slider.
Optionally strip metadata and set a target size.
Export — the smaller file is built on your device.

Why local compression is safer

An online compressor receives a copy of your original, which may contain location or private content. Local compression keeps the original on your machine and only you see it.

Compression vs conversion

You can also convert formats (PNG to WebP, etc.) which often shrinks files further. Both run locally in TinyPS.

Frequently asked questions

Does image compression upload my file?

No. TinyPS compresses entirely on your device; the original never leaves your computer.

What is lossless passthrough?

If an image is already small or you change nothing, TinyPS skips re-encoding so there is literally zero quality loss.

Can I remove EXIF / location data?

Yes. The compression panel can strip metadata so exported files carry no location or camera info.
