Compression 100% local

Compress an Image
online, without uploading a thing.

MediaBay shrinks the file size of your JPG, PNG and WebP photos right in your browser. You keep the original format, you choose the quality level — and along the way, the EXIF metadata and GPS location are wiped. Not a single pixel travels across the internet.

One rule. Just one.

Your files never leave your device. Verifiable in the DevTools.

N°02 The tool

Reduce the file size of an image, 100 % online.

Use our free tool to compress images online and reduce your photos' file size without sacrificing sharpness. Unlike other online compressors, MediaBay processes your files right in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a remote server.

The engine re-encodes each image through the HTML5 Canvas and WebAssembly APIs. You freely adjust the quality slider to strike the right balance between small file size and fidelity, and by default you keep the original format: a JPG stays a JPG, a PNG stays a PNG.

N°03 The context

Lighter, just as sharp, and trace-free.

i.

Lighter files

A compressed photo loads faster, shares more easily and takes up less storage — perfect for the web, email or your product pages.

ii.

Quality preserved

You control the compression level yourself. At 90 %, the loss is invisible to the naked eye; the PNG format, for its part, stays strictly lossless.

iii.

EXIF & GPS wiped

Re-exporting natively strips the metadata embedded in your photos — date, device model and above all GPS coordinates. Your images leave anonymous.

N°04 Questions

Compress an Image — frequently asked questions.

How do I compress an image online?

Drag your photo into the drop zone, keep the same format or pick a lighter one, adjust the quality slider, then start the compression. The lightened file downloads automatically.

Does compression remove EXIF and GPS data?

Yes. Re-exporting through the browser engine natively strips the metadata (EXIF, GPS location, device model). The “Strip metadata” option is enabled by default.

Will I lose quality?

You control the size/quality trade-off with a slider. At 90%, the difference is imperceptible to the naked eye while still cutting file size significantly. PNG, being lossless, stays pixel-perfect.

Are my photos sent to a server?

No. Compression is 100% client-side: everything happens in your browser via Canvas and WebAssembly. No file leaves your device — verifiable in the Network tab of your DevTools.
