Compress PNG images online, free

LightPIX is a free online PNG compressor that reduces PNG file size by up to 80% without visible quality loss. PNG is a lossless format prized for crisp edges and full transparency, which makes it ideal for logos, icons, screenshots and UI graphics — but those same qualities make PNG files large. LightPIX squeezes them down while preserving the transparent background.

Drop up to 20 PNGs at once (16 MB each), fine-tune the quality if you like, and download them individually or as a single ZIP. Every PNG comes back as a PNG with its transparency intact — LightPIX never changes your file format. Your images are processed securely over HTTPS and deleted right after compression — nothing is ever stored.

Want it automatic? Install the free LightPIX WordPress plugin to compress every PNG the moment it is uploaded to your Media Library.
