Reduce JPEG file size for photos

JPEG compression is usually the right choice for photographs, product images, camera exports, and images with many colors. The default quality is tuned to keep photos clear while reducing file size.

Compress JPG files without uploading

Your JPG or JPEG files are processed in the browser. This keeps private photos, ecommerce images, and client assets on your device while still giving you a compressed download.

Use Max side for large camera images

Max side resizes the longest edge. Keep it set to Original if you only want JPEG recompression without changing dimensions. For oversized camera photos, resizing often saves more space than quality changes alone.

Balance quality and page speed

Large JPEG photos can slow product pages, blogs, and landing pages. Compressing and resizing them before publishing usually improves load time without changing the visible layout.

FAQ

What Quality should I use for JPEG?

Start around 80-85 for clear web images. Lower values reduce file size more, but compression artifacts become easier to see.

Will JPEG compression remove metadata?

Browser re-encoding usually strips most embedded metadata, which can reduce file size and avoid sharing unnecessary camera details.

When should I resize JPEG images?

Use Max side when a camera image is much larger than the display size you need. This often saves more space than quality changes alone.
