CrushImage
Crush Image compresses JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC files in the browser, with no account required.
About CrushImage
CrushImage is a free, browser-based compressor for JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC images that requires no account. According to the site, compression runs locally in the browser using JavaScript rather than on a server, so images are not uploaded; HEIC photos from an iPhone are converted to JPG as part of the process. Users can process several files at once, set a target file size, convert to WebP or JPEG, resize dimensions, compare before-and-after quality, and download results individually or as a ZIP.
The site states there are no daily caps, file size restrictions or watermarks, though the advertised reduction of up to 70% is a site claim rather than a guarantee. Re-encoded images have EXIF metadata stripped; a file that cannot be made smaller is returned unchanged with its metadata intact.

CrushImage FAQ
Is CrushImage free?
The site says it is completely free, with no accounts, subscriptions or premium tier, and that browser-based processing avoids server costs.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
The site states that all compression happens locally in the browser using JavaScript and that images never leave the device.
What happens to my photo's metadata?
EXIF data such as camera settings, date taken and GPS location is stripped from every re-encoded image, while orientation is preserved in the pixels. If a file is already smaller than the tool can make it, the original is returned untouched with its metadata included.
