Best practices for better results

Image optimization works best when you choose the right balance between file size, visual quality, dimensions, format compatibility and privacy. These tips help you get a cleaner result.

  • Start from the original image whenever possible.
  • Review the output before publishing or deleting your original file.
  • Use related tools like resize, convert or metadata removal when you need a more specific result.
  • Choose the right format for the job: JPEG for photos, PNG for sharp graphics and WebP for modern websites.

What happens to your images?

When you choose a file, your browser reads it locally and creates the processed version on your own device. CompressImage.ca does not receive the original image or the finished file.

That local-first approach is useful for personal photos, client work, screenshots, documents, product images and other files you do not want to upload to a third-party server.

When to use another tool

The best tool depends on what you are trying to fix. Compression reduces file size, resizing changes dimensions, conversion changes format, cropping changes framing, and metadata removal cleans hidden information from the file.

JXL Viewer FAQ

What is a JXL file?

JXL is the extension for JPEG XL, a next-generation image format offering strong compression, lossless modes and HDR. Browser and app support is still limited, which is why files can be hard to open.

How do I open a JXL file?

Drop it into this viewer to see it right in your browser, with nothing to install. To keep a widely supported copy, save it as PNG or convert it to JPG.

Why will my computer not open JXL files?

Most browsers and image viewers have not added JPEG XL support yet, and some that did later removed it. This viewer decodes the file in your browser so it works anywhere.

Is my file uploaded when I view it?

No. The JPEG XL file is decoded entirely in your browser, so it never leaves your device, which makes the viewer safe for private images.
