About Lytepic

Lytepic is a free image compressor that runs entirely in your browser. You drop in a JPG, PNG or WebP, choose a quality or a target size, and download a smaller file. Nothing is uploaded, no account is needed and nothing is added to your picture.

The name

Lytepic was previously called Squeeze. The tool is the same; only the name changed. If you arrived looking for the Squeeze image compressor, you are in the right place.

How it works

When you choose an image, your browser draws it onto a canvas at the size you pick and saves it again at the quality you pick. That is the whole process, and it happens on your own device. If you set a target size, Lytepic tries different quality levels, and reduces the dimensions if it has to, until the file fits.

Why it exists

Many online compressors ask you to upload your pictures to their servers first. That is slower than it needs to be and a poor fit for personal photos, ID pictures and documents. Lytepic keeps the work on your device instead.
