A compressor that keeps your files to itself.

PixelSqueeze started from a small annoyance: every image compressor worth using wanted you to upload your photos to a stranger's server first. For a receipt, a screenshot, or a family photo, that always felt like one step too many.

So this one works differently. Every compression happens inside your own browser, using the Canvas API built into the device you're already holding. Your image is read, resized, and re-encoded locally — it never leaves your machine, and there's no server in between to store, log, or lose it.

How it works

When you drop in a photo, PixelSqueeze draws it onto a hidden canvas at the size you choose, then re-encodes it at the quality level you set. Lower quality and smaller dimensions mean a smaller file — the same trade-off every compressor makes, just done without a round trip to a server.

Who it's for

• Bloggers and site owners trying to keep page weight down
• Students and office workers attaching images to documents or forms
• Anyone who'd rather not upload personal photos to a random website
