Compress JPG Images

Reduce the file size of JPG and JPEG photos so they upload faster, fit email limits and load quickly on websites. The result stays a JPG, so it works everywhere the original did.

Your images stay on your device. They are processed by your browser and never uploaded. How this works

JPG, up to 50 MB each. You can also paste an image.

How to compress a JPG

  1. Add your JPGsChoose or drop .jpg and .jpeg files. Compression begins at quality 80.
  2. CompareOpen Compare on any photo and drag the divider to check detail.
  3. Tune the qualityNeed it smaller? Lower the quality and apply the setting to the batch.
  4. SaveDownload each photo, or all of them as one ZIP.

How JPG quality works

A JPG encoder divides the photo into 8 × 8 pixel blocks and stores each block as a mix of simple patterns. The quality setting decides how precisely those patterns are kept. High settings preserve fine texture; lower settings round more of it away, which is why heavily compressed JPGs look blocky.

Every time a JPG is opened and saved again, it is compressed again, and a little more detail is lost. Keep your original files and compress a copy for each use.

Tips for smaller JPGs

  • Resize first: a 1600 px wide photo has a fraction of the pixels of a 4000 px original.
  • Busy, detailed photos compress less than simple ones; a lower quality is often still invisible on them.
  • For web pages, converting to WebP usually saves more than lowering JPG quality.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between JPG and JPEG?

None. They are the same format. Early versions of Windows limited file extensions to three letters, so .jpg became common alongside .jpeg.

How small can a JPG get before it looks bad?

Most photos look clean down to about quality 70. Below 50, you may see blocky patches in smooth areas and halos around edges. If you need a much smaller file, reduce the pixel dimensions as well.

Why are photos from my phone so large?

Phones save photos at high resolution and high quality so you can crop and print them. That is far more than a screen needs, which is why they compress so well.

Should I convert my JPGs to WebP instead?

For a website, yes: WebP is usually smaller at the same quality. For sharing, printing or uploading to forms, keep JPG. The JPG to WebP converter does the conversion in one step.
