Smaller photos, same look
Modern cameras produce enormous files — a single photo can be 5–12MB. That’s overkill for a website, a blog, a marketplace listing, or a shared album, where it just means slow loading and wasted storage. The goal isn’t to make the photo look compressed; it’s to remove the invisible bulk while keeping what you actually see.
Mynify does this entirely in your browser by converting the image to WebP at a high quality level. WebP squeezes photos far more efficiently than JPEG, so you get a much smaller file that looks the same at normal viewing sizes — with nothing uploaded to a server.
How it works
This page uses the High quality setting, tuned to preserve detail while still cutting the file substantially. Mynify decodes your photo, re-encodes it to WebP in a background worker (so the page stays responsive), and shows you the exact resulting size before you download. Want it smaller? Switch presets and the estimate updates instantly.
A quiet bonus: because the photo is fully re-encoded, the output drops the original EXIF metadata — including the GPS coordinates phones embed. Great when you’re posting photos publicly and don’t want to broadcast where they were taken.
Best practices
-
Resize huge images. If a photo will only ever display at 1600px wide, there’s no reason to keep 6000px — crop or resize for even bigger savings.
-
Keep an original. Compression is one-way; hold on to the source file if you might need a print-quality version later.
-
Use WebP where you can. Websites, CMSs and social platforms all accept it now; it’s the modern default for web images.
-
Mind older platforms. A handful of legacy tools and email clients still expect JPEG or PNG; check the destination accepts WebP before switching a whole library over.
