JPEG is the standard for photos, and a small drop in quality can shrink the file dramatically with no visible difference. This compressor lets you slide the quality — or set a target size — and exports a smaller JPG in seconds.

It's perfect for trimming camera photos before emailing them, uploading to a website, or attaching to a form. Nothing is uploaded, so even personal photos stay private.

Frequently asked questions

How much can I compress a JPEG?

Often by 60–90% with little visible change. Photos with lots of smooth areas (skies, skin) compress the most. You control the trade-off with the quality slider.

What's the difference between JPEG and JPG?

None — they're the same format, just two spellings of the file extension. This tool handles both.

Is it really free and private?

Yes. It's free with no watermark, and the compression happens on your device, so nothing is uploaded.
