About this tool
JPEG is still the workhorse format for photographs, and this tool is dedicated to squeezing more out of it. It re-encodes the file with an updated JPEG encoder, letting you slide quality up and down or aim at a specific kilobyte budget. Because it only accepts JPG and JPEG inputs, the interface, presets, and quality curve are tuned specifically for photographic content rather than logos or line art. Everything is processed on your machine — the photo never leaves your browser.
FAQ
Yes. They are two file extensions for the same format and this tool treats them identically.
No, this tool keeps the file in JPG. Use the general image compressor if you also want a WebP option.
Yes, but each re-encode adds a small amount of generational loss. Compress from the original when possible.
Bulky preview thumbnails are stripped to save space. Basic metadata is preserved unless you choose stronger compression.
You can go very small, but detail and color depth degrade as you approach the smallest targets.
Yes. JPG compression runs entirely in your browser.
More about this tool
How it works
- Add a JPG or JPEG photo.
- Pick a compression mode that matches how much quality you can trade for size.
- Download the smaller JPG when the preview looks acceptable.
Features
- Photograph-tuned presets — Balanced, Smallest File, and Maximum Quality are calibrated for continuous-tone images like portraits and landscapes.
- Precise quality slider — Custom Quality gives you fine-grained control over the JPEG quality factor when a preset is not enough.
- Target KB or percentage — Ask for roughly 100 KB or 40% of the original and the encoder will iterate to get close.
- Metadata handling — Strips heavy EXIF thumbnails and preview data to shave extra kilobytes without touching pixels.
Supported formats
Input: JPG, JPEG. Output: JPG.
Input
-
JPG jpg, jpeg

Common uses
- Photography portfolios and stock uploads
- E-commerce product photos on Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho
- Blog and news article images that must load quickly
- Photo attachments for email newsletters
- Reducing DSLR or phone camera exports before archiving
Limitations
- Only JPG/JPEG inputs — use the PNG, WebP, or AVIF tools for other formats.
- JPEG is inherently lossy; aggressive settings can introduce blockiness in flat areas like skies.
- Around 25 MB per file; extremely large scanner outputs may need to be split.
- Target sizes are approximations, not guaranteed byte counts.
