What image formats can I compress and convert?

You can read JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, BMP, TIFF, GIF, SVG, HEIC, and HEIF, then export to JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, BMP, TIFF, GIF (static), or ICO.

Can I compress hundreds of images at once?

Yes. ArcForged is built for bulk jobs (100–500+ images) with concurrent worker processing limited by your CPU cores.

How does the max and min file size targeting work?

After resizing, ArcForged lowers quality until the file is under your maximum size. If the result is below your minimum size, it raises quality again for a better balance.

Does ArcForged work offline?

Yes. After the first load, the Progressive Web App shell can work offline so you can keep compressing without a network connection.

Why creators use ArcForged

A free online bulk image compressor designed for privacy, speed, and predictable output sizes—ideal for web performance, marketplaces, and large photo folders.

100% private processing

Images are decoded, resized, and compressed on your device. Nothing is uploaded to a server, cloud bucket, or analytics pipeline.

Built for bulk jobs

Drop folders or multi-select hundreds of photos. A CPU-aware Web Worker pool keeps the UI responsive while jobs run in parallel.

Exact size targeting

Set a maximum file size and an optional minimum. ArcForged auto-tunes quality—and gently reduces dimensions only when required.

Modern formats

Convert mixed JPEG/PNG/WebP/AVIF/BMP/TIFF/GIF/SVG/HEIC inputs into JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, BMP, TIFF, GIF, or ICO. Transparency is preserved when the output format supports it.

Image compression FAQ

Straight answers for people searching for a private, free, bulk image compressor that works without uploading files.

Are my images uploaded to a server?+

No. ArcForged is a client-side image compressor. All work happens in your browser using Web Workers, Canvas/OffscreenCanvas, and local files only.

What formats are supported?+

Input: JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, BMP, TIFF, GIF, SVG, HEIC, HEIF. Output: JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, BMP, TIFF, GIF (static), ICO. Unsupported files are skipped with a clear notice.

Will aspect ratio be preserved when resizing?+

Yes. Images fit inside your max width and height without cropping or stretching. Defaults are 800×1000 px.

Can I use this offline?+

After the first visit, ArcForged can run from the cached app shell as a Progressive Web App, so compression still works without a network.

Is ArcForged free?+

Yes. There is no account, watermark, or upload quota—because there is no upload pipeline to pay for.

Privacy-first by design

ArcForged never sends your photos to a backend API, never stores them in cloud storage, and never requires an account. That makes it a strong choice when you need to compress images online without uploading—for client work, ID scans, product catalogs, or personal archives. Processing stays on-device with automatic quality retries, ZIP export, and reprocess support so you can tune results without selecting the same folder twice.
