Image Format Comparison Lab

Stop guessing which format is smallest — encode your own image six ways and see the real numbers.

Drop one image to compare formats

Any supported image (max 20MB) — encoded six ways, privately in your browser

Six Formats, One Image, Real Numbers

Every "which format is best?" article uses somebody else's photo. This free format comparison lab uses yours: drop one image and it is encoded as JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, JPEG XL and JPEG 2000 at one quality setting, side by side, with exact sizes and a download for each. All in your browser — the image never leaves your device.

Apples to Apples

Same pixels, same quality setting for every lossy format. PNG and JP2 run lossless — clearly labelled, because that difference is the point.

The Winner, Crowned

The smallest result is marked automatically, with each size also shown as a percentage of your original file.

Why Results Differ by Photo

Smooth photos love AVIF and JXL; screenshots with sharp text love lossless PNG and JXL; noisy high-ISO shots compress less everywhere. That is exactly why the honest test is your own image, not a benchmark chart.
