Image Compressor & Converter: Bulk WebP, AVIF, JPEG, PNG & HEIC to JPG

Compress and convert images in bulk: shrink JPEG and PNG files, convert to WebP or AVIF for a faster website, turn iPhone HEIC photos into JPG, resize to a maximum width or height, hit a target file size (e.g. "under 200 KB") and strip EXIF metadata including the GPS location from photos. Paste image links (or upload a file), click Start, and get one result row per image with the old and new size, the savings in percent and a direct download link, plus an optional ZIP of all images. No API key, no software to install. $1 per 1,000 images, and failed images are free.

What you can use it for

• Faster websites and better Core Web Vitals: convert product photos and blog images to WebP or AVIF and cut page weight by 70-95%.
• E-commerce catalogs: resize and compress thousands of Shopify, WooCommerce or marketplace product images in one run, with a white background for transparent PNGs.
• Upload limits: make every file fit a size limit (job portals, forms, CMS, email attachments) with the target file size option.
• iPhone photos (HEIC) to JPG for Windows, older apps and websites that don't accept HEIC.
• Privacy: remove the GPS location and camera data from photos before you publish or share them.
• Animated GIF to WebP: keep the animation at a fraction of the size.
• Automation: call it from n8n, Make, Zapier, your CMS or an AI agent after every upload.

How to use it

1. Paste direct image links in Image links (one per line, or import a text/CSV file) or upload an image. Google Drive ("Anyone with the link") and Dropbox share links work.
2. Pick the output format (WebP, AVIF, JPEG, PNG or keep the original format) and the quality (80 is a good default).
3. Optional: set a max width/height, a target max file size, what metadata to remove, and whether you want a ZIP.
4. Click Start. Each image becomes one row in the results with a downloadUrl. The ZIP link is in the OUTPUT record and in the run log.

Pricing

You pay $0.001 per image ($1 per 1,000), plus $0.0005 when a run starts. An image is any picture up to 25 megapixels, which covers every phone and most camera photos. Bigger images and animations count per started 25 megapixels (an animated GIF counts all its frames). Images that fail, are refused or are skipped are free, and so is the ZIP.

Job	Images	Price
Try it on one photo	1	$0.0015
100 product photos to WebP	100	$0.10
1,000 blog images resized to 1600 px	1,000	$1.00
10,000 catalog images to AVIF	10,000	$10.00
A 48 MP camera photo	1 (2 x 25 MP)	$0.002

That's half of what most comparable Store Actors charge ($2-$10 per 1,000), and unlike online compressor web apps there is no monthly plan, no 20-files-at-a-time limit and no manual uploading.

Features

• Formats in: JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC/HEIF (iPhone), GIF (incl. animated), TIFF, BMP. Formats out: WebP, AVIF, JPEG, PNG, or keep the original format.
• Smart compression: optimized progressive JPEG, WebP and AVIF at the quality you choose; optional lossless WebP/AVIF; optional TinyPNG-style PNG color reduction (256 colors with dithering, usually 50-80% smaller).
• Target file size: finds the highest quality that fits your limit and, if needed, scales the image down until it fits.
• Resize to a max width and/or height, keeping the aspect ratio. Images are never enlarged.
• Metadata & privacy: removes all EXIF/XMP metadata incl. GPS location by default, or only the GPS data, or nothing. The camera rotation is applied to the pixels first, so photos never end up sideways. The color profile (e.g. iPhone Display P3) is kept so colors stay right.
• Transparency: kept for WebP, AVIF and PNG; filled with your background color for JPEG.
• Animations: animated GIF/WebP/PNG stay animated in WebP, AVIF, GIF and PNG output.
• Never worse: if re-encoding would make an already optimized file bigger (same format and size, no metadata to remove), the original is returned instead.
• Safe: only the links you give are downloaded; web pages, private network addresses, SVG and PDF files are refused with a clear message. Max 50 MB and 100 megapixels per image, up to 5,000 images per run.
• Budget safe: before each image it checks your run's max cost and skips images that would exceed it (not charged).

Output example (one item per image)

A real result: a 14-megapixel public-domain photo with GPS data, converted to WebP at 2560 px wide. 5.4 MB became 160 KB.

In the same run, the 44-frame animated "Rotating earth" GIF went from 1.0 MB to 288 KB as an animated WebP (-71%), and a transparent PNG from 225 KB to 69 KB (-69%) with its transparency kept. The run summary (OUTPUT record):

{"images": 7, "processed": 4, "failed": 3, "skipped": 0, "originalBytes": 6620522, "outputBytes": 520168,

The 3 failed rows were a web page, a 404 link and a private network address. They each got a clear error message and were not charged.

FAQ

WebP or AVIF? WebP works in every current browser and is fast to encode. AVIF is usually 10-30% smaller again at the same look, and is supported by all modern browsers. If you are not sure, use WebP.

Which quality should I use? 75-85 looks like the original for almost all photos. Use 60-70 for thumbnails. For AVIF the same number gives a similar look (it is mapped to AVIF's own scale).

Will my images lose quality? JPEG, WebP and AVIF are lossy, but at 80 the difference is not visible for normal viewing. Use lossless WebP/AVIF or PNG for pixel-perfect output.

Do you keep my images? Converted files are stored only in your own Apify run storage (your account's data retention applies). Nothing is sent to third-party services.

Can it download all images from a web page? No. It only processes the image links you give it. To collect the image links of your own site, run Broken Link Checker with "include working links" on: it lists every image URL it checks.

Can it convert SVG or PDF? No. For PDFs and scanned images to text use PDF & Image OCR Extractor.

How big can images be? Up to 50 MB and 100 megapixels per image (raise maxMegapixels to 150 and give the run 2 GB of memory for huge panoramas), up to 5,000 images per run.
