Madexify SquishFree tool

Make your files smaller. Keep them sharp.

True lossless compression that doesn't touch a single pixel — or dial the quality down by any percentage you like. Images, PDFs, documents and audio, all compressed inside your own browser.

Squish runs entirely in your browser, so it needs JavaScript switched on.

      Compression runs on your own device. The first file of each type downloads its codec (a few hundred KB), then everything after that is instant.

      What it shrinks

      Lossless where it's possible. Honest where it isn't.

      Plenty of tools call everything "lossless". We only use the word where the file genuinely decodes to identical pixels.

      PNG

      Rebuilt with oxipng — the same engine the professionals use. Identical image, smaller file.

      • LOSSLESS
      • OXIPNG
      • QUANTISE
      typically 20–60% smaller

      JPG

      Re-encoded with MozJPEG, which packs the same picture into far fewer bytes than a camera does.

      • MOZJPEG
      • STRIP EXIF
      typically 40–70% smaller

      WebP & AVIF

      Modern formats that beat JPG badly. AVIF is the smallest thing on the web right now.

      • WEBP
      • AVIF
      • LOSSLESS WEBP
      up to 80% smaller than JPG

      PDF

      Tidied losslessly, or rebuilt from images for scans. We'll warn you before doing anything drastic.

      • LOSSLESS
      • SCAN MODE
      5–15%, or 70–90% on scans

      SVG

      Minified with SVGO. Strips editor junk, comments and pointless decimal places.

      • SVGO
      • LOSSLESS
      typically 30–70% smaller

      GIF

      Optimised with gifsicle, animation intact. Colour reduction available if you want more.

      • GIFSICLE
      • LOSSLESS -O3
      typically 15–30% smaller

      Word, Excel & PowerPoint

      Office files are zip archives. We repack them tighter and drop the preview thumbnails.

      • DOCX
      • XLSX
      • PPTX
      • LOSSLESS
      typically 5–20% smaller

      Audio

      WAV files are enormous. Convert to MP3 at a bitrate you choose and watch them collapse.

      • WAV → MP3
      • BITRATE
      typically 90% smaller

      Questions

      The bits worth knowing.

      What does "lossless" actually mean here?

      The file gets smaller but decodes to exactly the same pixels — you could compare them pixel by pixel and find no difference. It works because most files are stored inefficiently in the first place. PNG, SVG, GIF and Office files can all be genuinely losslessly compressed.

      Is JPG compression lossless?

      No, and we won't pretend otherwise. A JPG has to be decoded and re-encoded, so it's technically a fresh generation. At 90% quality it's visually identical to almost anyone and usually much smaller. The genuinely lossless part for a JPG is stripping its hidden metadata, which we do automatically.

      Are my files uploaded?

      Never. Everything runs in your browser on your own device. Nothing is transmitted to us, which is why you can safely compress contracts, invoices and client work.

      Why did my PDF barely shrink?

      Text-based PDFs are already efficiently stored, so lossless mode only finds 5–15%. The big savings come from scanned documents, where scan mode can remove 70–90%. It will make text non-selectable, so we warn you first.

      Which format should I choose for the web?

      AVIF if you want the smallest possible file and only need modern browsers. WebP is the safe middle ground with near-universal support. JPG if it has to work absolutely everywhere. For logos and flat graphics, keep PNG and use lossless mode.

      Can it compress video?

      Not yet. Browser-based video compression means a very large download before anything happens and it can crash phones on bigger files. Tell us below if you'd use it.
