Ready to Reduce JPG File Size?
Add JPG or JPEG files below.
- Reduce File Size
- Makes files smaller in KB or MB while keeping dimensions unchanged by default. For example, 2 MB → 500 KB when the target is achievable.
- Resize Dimensions
- Changes width and height in pixels. For example, 3023 × 4031 → 1512 × 2016 at 50%.

Key Characteristics
Three Clear Levels
Choose Light, Balanced or Maximum without technical encoder settings.
Private Processing
Files follow the existing private temporary processing and deletion schedule.
About This Operation
What to Expect
JPG compression can substantially reduce photographs and other detailed images, but smaller files trade some fine visual detail for fewer bytes.
Balanced is recommended for most photos. Already-efficient JPGs may not produce a smaller downloadable copy, and unsuccessful compression does not use conversion allowance.
To compress JPEG for a form or photo-upload limit, choose Maximum File Size and enter a cap in KB or MB. The converter seeks the highest practical quality under that cap when achievable, with original dimensions unchanged by default. If it cannot fit, you decide whether to change the cap, dimensions or format.
Supported input
Accepts validated still JPG and JPEG files; renamed or animated content is rejected.
Output
Produces JPG output with the original dimensions unless resize is selected.
Simple Workflow
How It Works
- Step 1
Upload Your JPGs
Choose one or more JPG or JPEG photographs.
- Step 2
Choose a Reduction Level
Select Light, Balanced or Maximum compression, or enter a Maximum File Size in KB or MB. Keep Original Dimensions unless you want to resize pixels.
- Step 3
Reduce & Download
Reduce file size, compare each original and completed size, then download or share the smaller JPG.

- Faster photo uploads
- Smaller storage and transfers
Important limitations
- Fine detail can change
- Savings depend on prior JPG encoding
- Already-efficient files may yield no output
Quality Behavior
JPG is lossy: Light prioritizes visual quality, Balanced is recommended, and Maximum prioritizes a smaller file.
Transparency
Transparency behavior follows the selected source and output formats.
Animation and Interactivity
Animated image editing is not supported; still-image validation remains authoritative.
Metadata and Orientation
Embedded metadata is removed by default; compatible preservation remains optional.
