About CompressBadger

Free, unlimited image compression. No signup, no tracking, no upsells.

Our Mission

CompressBadger exists to make professional-grade image compression accessible to everyone. We believe that essential web tools should be free, unlimited, and respect your privacy.

Why CompressBadger?

Most image compression tools either limit the number of files you can process, require signup, or compromise on quality. We built CompressBadger to be different.

Truly Unlimited

No daily limits, no file size restrictions, no premium tiers. Process as many images as you need, whenever you need.

Privacy First

Your images are automatically deleted after download. No storage, no tracking, no data mining. What you compress stays private.

Production Quality

Powered by Sharp and libvips, the same libraries used by professional platforms like Shopify and Cloudinary.

Full Control

Adjust quality levels, choose output formats, and compare before/after results with our interactive slider.

Key Features

  • Batch Processing: Upload and compress multiple images at once
  • Multiple Formats: Support for JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, AVIF, and HEIC
  • Format Conversion: Convert between formats (e.g., HEIC to JPG, PNG to WebP)
  • Quality Control: Fine-tune compression with an adjustable quality slider
  • Visual Comparison: Before/after slider to verify quality
  • Server-Side Processing: Fast, reliable compression using Sharp and MozJPEG
  • No Watermarks: Clean, professional results every time

Technology Stack

CompressBadger is built with modern, production-grade technologies:

  • Frontend: Astro 5, React 19, Tailwind CSS v4
  • Backend: Fastify, BullMQ, Redis
  • Image Processing: Sharp (libvips), MozJPEG
  • Infrastructure: Cloudflare Pages, Docker, Caddy

We use Sharp and libvips for image processing — the same libraries trusted by Shopify, Cloudinary, and thousands of professional platforms. This means you get the same quality as enterprise tools, completely free.

No Tracking, No Upsells

Unlike many "free" tools, CompressBadger doesn't:

  • Track what images you compress
  • Show you ads or paywalls
  • Require account creation or email signup
  • Add watermarks to your images
  • Sell your data to third parties

We use Google Analytics to understand general usage patterns (like which pages are popular), but we don't track individual users or their content.
