Compress Images for Telegram
Telegram compresses photos by default but allows sending images as files to preserve quality. Pre-optimizing your images gives you full control over final quality. Use ImageSmith to compress your Telegram images before sending — free, instant, and entirely in your browser. No account needed, no watermarks, no ads. Target under 10,000KB for best results on Telegram.
