Make JPG, PNG, WebP and AVIF files smaller, right in your browser. For HEIC, PDFs and hundreds at once, Hangar runs on your Mac or PC.
Hangar compresses hundreds of photos at once with the same settings, any size, HEIC and RAW included. Below is a real run on a Mac.

How it works
JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF and BMP work everywhere, and HEIC works on a Mac.
Balanced suits most photos. Choose Target size to keep every JPEG, WebP and AVIF under a limit like 500 KB.
Same name, same format, saved in your output folder. Your originals never change.
New to Hangar? How to run a tool, step by step
Choose how small
Presets set the quality and how far oversized photos are scaled down. PNG files are stored more compactly at every preset, with no pixel changed.
The smallest files, capped at 1600 pixels.
Best for thumbnails, previews and strict upload limits.
Small files that still look the same, up to 2560 pixels.
Best for websites, stores and email.
The most detail, no resizing.
Best for portfolios and print proofs.
Every setting, explained in the Compress images guide Quality · Resize large images · Convert to grayscale · Strip metadata
The alternative
TinyPNG compresses well and is quick for a handful of images. The catch is the upload, the free caps and the yearly fee.

Who uses it
Shrink a whole shoot before it goes into your store, so pages load quickly on a phone.
Use Target size to get campaign images under a portal’s cap on the first try.
Hangar for marketers and content teamsBring 8 MB phone photos down to a few hundred KB before they go into your CMS.
One app, one payment
The same app converts, compresses, resizes and cleans up photos, and does the same kind of work for PDFs, video and audio. One payment covers every tool.
Save it as a chain
Drop a batch and every photo loses its location data, comes down to web size and gets compressed, in one run.
How chains workEvery tool is free for 3 days, with no account and no card. After that, Hangar is a one-time payment from $45, with updates for the version you buy. There is no subscription.
Yes, for JPEG, WebP and AVIF. Choose Target size and type the limit. Hangar keeps the highest quality that fits.
Not with this tool. On Windows, convert HEIC photos to JPEG with Convert images first, then compress them.
No. A JPEG stays a JPEG and a PNG stays a PNG. Only the size comes down.
Yes. PNG files are optimized without touching the pixels, so they stay perfectly sharp.
Yes, on a Mac, on the quality lever. Resize and grayscale are not applied to HEIC in this pass; run Convert first if you need those too.
Not yet on this tool. Convert them to JPEG or PNG first with the Convert Images tool, then compress.
No. If a file would not get smaller, even after a resize or grayscale, Hangar keeps your original.
No. Your files are processed on your computer and never sent anywhere. Hangar sends anonymous usage counts to improve the app, never file names or contents, and you can turn that off in Settings.
Yes. A license works on any mix of Mac and Windows computers. Solo covers 1 computer, Crew 3 and Fleet 10.
Then pay once, from $45, for every tool and the updates for your version. No subscription. 30-day refund.See plans
