Beginner guide
You will open Dhiva Tools, make a photo smaller with the Image Compressor, and download it. The photo is processed in your browser and never uploaded.
What you need
- A web browser. See Open Dhiva Tools.
- A JPG, PNG or WEBP image up to 20 MB.
Open the Image Compressor
Go to tools.dhivalabs.com.
Select Compress an image at the top of the home page.
You can also scroll to Image tools and select the Image Compressor card.
Compress the image
Drag your image onto the box that says Drop your file here or browse, or click the box and choose the file.
The box shows what it accepts: JPG, PNG or WEBP · up to 20 MB. Once the image is loaded, its name, size and dimensions appear at the top.
Leave the mode on Quality.
Leave Output format on Same as input, or pick JPG, WEBP or PNG.
Check the Quality slider. It starts at 75%. Values from 70 to 85% usually look the same as the original.
Select Compress image.
When it is done, the page shows the size before and after and how much you saved, for example Saved 68.4%.
If the result is not smaller, the page says your image is already well optimized and suggests a lower quality or WEBP.
Download the result
Select Download. The file goes to your browser's download folder, named after the original with -compressed added, for example holiday-compressed.jpg. The original on your computer is not changed.
To compress another image, remove the current one with the cross next to its name and drop in the next.
What you learned
- Every tool page works the same way: add a file, choose options, run the tool, download.
- Files are processed in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
- The page shows the size before and after, so you can see whether it worked.
