How to use Compress JPEG

Create a lighter JPEG for sharing or publishing while comparing the output size with the original.

Three simple steps

  1. Choose a valid JPEG file up to 25 MB.
  2. Set an output quality and start compression.
  3. Download the result when it is smaller, or lower quality and try again.

What compression changes

  • The image keeps its pixel dimensions.
  • Re-encoding removes source metadata.
  • Already optimized images may not become smaller at a high quality setting.

Frequently asked questions

Will compression resize the image?

No. This tool changes JPEG encoding quality without changing pixel dimensions.

Why is no download offered?

A result is offered only when it is smaller than the source file.

Does the output keep EXIF metadata?

No. Re-encoding creates a clean image without the source metadata.
