The kidneys are organs mostly involved in the excretion of waste from the body and the reabsorption of ions, water, glucose, etc. They play an important role in the regulation of blood pressure, pH and electrolytes as well as producing important hormones (such as erythropoietin which stimulates red blood cell production).
The liver is responsible for filtering toxins and waste products out of the blood, as well as producing bile (which aids in the digestion and absorption of fat). It also helps to recycle the products of red blood cell breakdown. The liver plays an important role in the storage of glycogen, fat, iron and copper.

The liver is actually larger than a single kidney. Perhaps because there are two kidneys and only one liver, the liver may seem to be more compact. Personally I see very little difference in the degree of compactness.
