Camera photos
Photos from your phone or camera. They are resized to at most 2560 px and converted to WebP at about 300 KB: at that resolution they look much better than 12 MP squeezed into the same size.
Private · Free · Nothing to install
Compress your photos and videos up to 90% without losing quality
Drop in a folder and FeatherFiles brings every photo and every video to just the right size —for example, camera photos at 300 KB and videos at 720p— without ruining the quality and without your files ever leaving your device.

A profile for every kind of photo
They come ready to use and explained, but everything can be adjusted: format, target size, quality and resolution.
WhatsApp photos
WhatsApp photos arrive already compressed (~200 KB). They are brought down to about 150 KB, kept as JPEG for compatibility. Smaller ones are copied as they are. The date is taken from the file name, because WhatsApp removes it.
Screenshots
Screenshots with text and interfaces. Lossless WebP: sharp text, no artifacts and usually 25–40% smaller than PNG.
Web and social
For blogs, online shops and social media: 1920 px WebP at about 250 KB.
Email and forms
Email attachments and official forms with a size limit: 1280 px JPEG at about 100 KB, readable anywhere.
High-quality archive
Long-term backups. High-quality AVIF at full resolution: roughly half the size with no visible loss, keeping all metadata.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I reduce the size of a photo?
- Drop the photo, or a whole folder, into the tool and click «Optimize now». FeatherFiles picks the right profile and finds the best quality for each size. If you need a specific size, use the 20 KB to 1 MB shortcuts.
- How do I know no quality is lost?
- See for yourself: when it finishes, click «Compare before and after» to see the original and the result of each photo with a line you can drag, and zoom in to full size to check the detail.
- Is it free? Do I need an account?
- It is free and needs no account: no watermarks and no daily usage limits.
- Are my photos uploaded to a server?
- No. Everything is processed inside your browser, so your photos never leave your device. You can check it by disconnecting from the internet after the page has loaded.
- Which formats are supported?
- JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, iPhone HEIC/HEIF, GIF, TIFF and BMP photos, and MP4, MOV, MKV and WebM videos, among others. Results can be WebP, JPEG, AVIF, PNG, H.264 or H.265.
- Can I compress many photos at once?
- Yes, whole folders with their subfolders. In the browser, between 150 and 1,000 files per batch depending on your device’s memory; the desktop app has no limits.
- Does it work on my phone?
- Yes, in your phone’s browser, on both Android and iPhone, with nothing to install. For large libraries a computer is more comfortable.
Long videos or thousands of photos?
The website can also compress short videos, but browsers have memory limits. The desktop app handles folders of any size and videos with no limits, offline, and restores the dates on your disk.
