This page re-encodes JPEG to JPEG, which is what you need when the destination will take nothing else: an old content management system, a platform that only accepts photos, or a client who explicitly asked for .jpg.
Bear in mind that every recompression stacks up loss. Always start from the camera original, not from a copy that has already been through a messaging app or another compressor.
How to use it
- Drop in the images you want to slim down.
- Choose whether to fix the quality or a maximum size in kilobytes.
- Check the percentage-saved column and download whatever convinces you.
Frequently asked questions
- What quality should I use?
- Between 75 and 85 is where almost nobody can tell the result from the original on a screen. Below 60 you start to see blocks in gradients and around text.
- Can I just say how much it should weigh?
- Yes. Switch the target to “Maximum file size” and give it in kilobytes. The page tries different qualities until it finds the highest that fits, and resizes if it has to.
- Is the EXIF data kept?
- No. Re-encoding goes through a browser canvas, which only deals in pixels, so the date, camera model and GPS coordinates are lost along the way.
