/ 01

JPG or JPEG? The same format.

Both extensions describe the same image format. JPEG works particularly well for photographs with many colors and gradual transitions. Its compression discards some visual information, so an 80% quality setting is a useful starting point, not a promise of identical pixels.

/ 02

Choose quality for the destination.

For email and web publishing, inspect hair, foliage, and small lettering in the compressed preview. If those areas look smeared or blocky, raise quality. For a strict application limit, choose a target size; the tool may reduce pixel dimensions after searching quality settings down to 40%.

/ 03

Orientation and metadata.

The browser applies embedded orientation when decoding the photo, then writes the oriented pixels into the output. Re-encoding drops source EXIF such as camera information and GPS tags. If the original is already smaller, it is kept with a metadata warning. This tool does not guarantee archival color fidelity or preserve print profiles.

PUT IT TO WORK

Practical examples

Suggested workflows. Actual savings depend on your image.

A camera photo for an email

Choose the original JPG and start at 80% quality with Auto selected. This keeps its dimensions while the browser re-encodes the photo.

Before you download: Open both previews and inspect faces and foliage. Raise quality if detail breaks up; save the original separately for future editing.

A JPEG for a 200 KB upload form

Select 200 KB after choosing the photo. The tool searches quality first and can reduce dimensions if necessary.

Before you download: Confirm “Target reached” and the final dimensions. A smaller file does not automatically satisfy a form’s aspect-ratio or portrait requirements.

A FEW USEFUL DETAILS

Good to know.

Will JPEG compression preserve transparency?

JPEG does not support transparency. This page preserves the JPG format. Use PNG or WebP when transparent pixels matter.

Should I compress an already compressed JPG again?

Repeated lossy encoding can accumulate artifacts. Adjust settings here using the original file: each new pass starts from that original, not the previous compressed result.
