Image Compressor for Postmark: Free Browser-Based Tool
→ Open the free Image CompressorBrowser-only, no signup, no upload. Output works with any Postmark campaign.
Postmark's built-in tools cover the basics, but the image compressor workflow often benefits from a dedicated, browser-only preprocessor before uploading. Reducing image weight before uploading keeps your email render-time fast and prevents Gmail clipping at 102 KB of HTML.
Why pre-process before uploading to Postmark
Postmark does not host images — you embed external URLs. Pre-compressed images at your CDN reduce render time across all clients.
Step-by-step: image compression for Postmark
- Compress your image with the free in-browser tool below (uses MozJPEG + Squoosh-style optimization, no upload)
- Download the compressed file (typically 60-80% smaller than the original)
- Upload to Postmark's image library or media manager
- Insert into your campaign — render speed and total email weight both improve
Postmark-specific deliverability quirks to know
Postmark is transactional-only. Pre-send rule analysis matters because transactional emails are time-critical and a deliverability issue stops user flows immediately.
