Private image compressor. Files never upload.
Most “online compressors” send the photo to a server. That is a poor fit for IDs, medical images, or unreleased work.
Compress Buddy processes the bytes in this tab. We do not host your images.
- No upload step.
- No account that stores a file history.
- The download comes from your own browser session.
Private mode: the selected images stay in this browser tab.
What “no upload” means
The compressor uses JavaScript in your browser. The image data stays in local memory during the run.
We still load the website, ads, and analytics scripts. Those scripts do not receive the image files you select.
When privacy matters
Use this page for client previews, passport photos, and screenshots that contain personal data.
If a tool requires you to drop files onto a remote bucket, pick this local path instead.
Frequently asked questions
No. We never receive the file, so we cannot store or recover it.
No. The zip is built in the browser with JavaScript and saved to your downloads folder.
The file picker data stays in this page script. Do not share sensitive photos on a public computer.
