Compress JPG images
Make JPG photos much smaller without them looking any different.
Phone cameras save JPGs at a very high quality that nobody can see on a screen, which is why a single photo can be 5 MB. Re-saving at a sensible quality typically cuts that by more than half with no visible difference. This tool does it in your browser, in batches, and removes location data while it is at it.
How to compress a JPG
- 1
Add JPG photos
Drop in one photo or a whole folder of them.
- 2
Pick a level
Balanced is right for almost everything. Choose Strong for the smallest files.
- 3
Download
One photo downloads directly; a batch arrives as a ZIP.
Why compress photos locally
Family photos and documents are personal. Compressing them on your device means they are never uploaded to someone else’s server.
Have to hit an exact size?
Use the target-size presets for upload forms with a hard limit.
Frequently asked questions
How much smaller will my photos get?+
Phone photos commonly shrink by 50 to 80 percent at Balanced, with no difference you would notice on screen.
Does it remove location data?+
Yes. Re-encoding drops EXIF metadata, including GPS location, so photos are safer to share.
Are my photos uploaded?+
No. They are compressed inside your browser and never leave your device.
Can a photo get bigger?+
No. If a JPG is already optimised, the original is kept unchanged.
