Why JPG photos take up so much space
Camera and phone JPGs are often saved at very high quality, which keeps detail you may never notice but adds megabytes you do not need for screens, email or uploads.

How to compress a JPG step by step
Add your JPG, drag the quality slider toward 75-85, compare the preview against the original, then download — the tool re-encodes the file locally without changing its dimensions.
How much smaller can a JPG get?
Most photographic JPGs shrink noticeably at quality 75-85 with no visible difference at normal viewing sizes; the exact percentage depends on how compressed the source image already is.
FAQ
Compress JPG online FAQ
How much smaller can I make my image without it looking worse?
For most photos, quality 75-85 cuts the file size noticeably while staying visually close to the original. Compare the live preview before downloading to confirm it looks right for your use.
Will compressing my image remove the EXIF or location data?
Compression re-encodes the pixels and can drop some metadata along the way, but it is not a dedicated privacy tool. Use Strip Metadata afterward if removing EXIF and GPS data is the goal.
Can I compress multiple images at once?
Yes — select several JPG files and the tool applies the same quality setting to each one, then lets you download them individually or as a zip.
Is there a limit to how many images I can compress for free?
No account or quota is required. The compressor runs locally in your browser, so the practical limit is your device memory rather than a usage cap.
