Why Use This Tool?
Camera JPGs and exports are usually saved at maximum quality — and maximum weight. This compressor re-encodes JPGs at the quality you choose, with a live savings badge on every file.
80% is the everyday sweet spot: visually identical for email and docs, typically 60–80% smaller. Everything runs locally, so client photos stay on your machine.
How It Works
- Drop your JPG files — one or a whole batch.
- Pick a quality level and optionally cap the width.
- Download the slimmer JPGs, savings badge included.
Frequently Asked Questions
What quality should I use?
80 for general sharing, 90+ for anything you'll re-edit or print, 60–70 for thumbnails and previews.
Is JPG compression lossy?
Yes — each re-save discards a little data. Compress once from the original rather than re-compressing an already compressed file.
Does it also resize?
Yes — tick the max-width option to shrink huge camera photos, which saves far more than quality alone.
Tips & Things to Watch
- One pass from the original — repeated re-compression stacks artifacts.
- Resize first when photos come straight off a camera.
- Keep originals for anything you might print later.
