How to use it
- Drag your images into the box or select them from your device. It accepts JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP, HEIC, and TIFF, up to 50 at a time.
- Check the result in the viewer: the original is on the left and the compressed image on the right. Drag the divider to compare, and zoom with Ctrl + scroll (⌘ + scroll on a Mac), with two fingers, or with the zoom buttons. Double-click to switch between fit and 100%.
- Move the quality slider, pick a shortcut (Web, Email, Best quality, or Smallest size), or set a format, a size, or a maximum file size. Every change shows up instantly, with the new file size and the percentage saved.
- Go through the batch in the image strip. If one image needs different treatment, select it and turn on “Adjust only this image.”
- Download the image you are viewing, or all of them together in a ZIP, from the summary bar.
Frequently asked questions
Which quality is best for a JPG?
For the web and social media, between 70 and 80 is a good balance. For printing or editing later, use 90 or higher. If you need the smallest possible size, try 60 and check the result.
Do I lose quality when I recompress a JPG?
Every recompression discards some information, but at a quality of 75 to 85 the difference is usually invisible. Avoid recompressing the same file many times.
Does it keep the photo orientation?
Yes. The tool respects the orientation the photo was taken with and removes the metadata, including the GPS location, to protect your privacy.
Compress JPG photos
JPG is the photograph format: small and compatible with any program. Compressing it gives up a little detail you hardly notice in exchange for a much smaller file. This page sets the output format to JPG so you only adjust the quality or the maximum file size.
How far to lower the quality
A quality of 75 to 85 is usually invisible to the naked eye and cuts the size a lot. You can set a maximum file size so the tool finds the best balance on its own. The comparison viewer with zoom lets you check it. If your image has transparency, it is better to compress PNG or use WebP; for everything else, open the image compressor.
