iLoveIMG is a popular image utility suite offering compression, resizing, cropping, and conversion in a single place. Like its sister site iLovePDF, it's trusted for its simplicity and broad tool coverage. Its compression tool handles JPG, PNG, GIF, and SVG without requiring an account on the free tier.

The key difference is where processing happens. iLoveIMG uploads your files to its servers in Spain for compression and deletes them after download. Kordu's Image Compressor keeps everything in your browser — the Canvas API handles all compression locally, so your images never leave your device.

For users with sensitive images, large batches, or modern formats like WebP, AVIF, or HEIC, Kordu's in-browser approach offers meaningful advantages. For teams who need a single place for compression, resizing, and cropping together, iLoveIMG's broader suite may be more convenient.
