About JPG compression
JPG (JPEG) uses lossy compression that discards imperceptible visual data. Reducing quality from 100 to 75-80 typically cuts file size by 50-70% with minimal visible difference, making it ideal for web photos and social media uploads.
FAQ
Is this free?
Yes, completely free. No signup, no watermarks, no hidden fees.
Is my file safe?
Files are compressed on our servers and immediately deleted. We never store or share your files.
What's the maximum file size?
You can compress files up to 100MB.
How much can I compress a JPG?
Most JPG images can be compressed by 40-70% with minimal visible quality loss. The exact reduction depends on the image content — photos with lots of detail compress less than simpler images.
Does compressing a JPG reduce image quality?
Yes, JPG compression is lossy, meaning some visual data is permanently removed. However, at quality settings of 70-80, the difference is usually imperceptible to the human eye.
What quality setting should I use?
For web images, 75-80 offers the best balance between file size and quality. For printing or archival, use 85-95. Below 60, compression artifacts become noticeable.
