A PRACTICAL GUIDE

How to reduce a JPEG file size

Reduce the weight of JPEG photos for email, forms and websites. The initial quality is 75%; you can instead set a maximum size per image.

  1. Choose JPG or JPEG photos.

  2. Adjust quality or choose Target file size. Resize oversized photos when helpful.

  3. Compress, inspect fine details and download the results.

Keep an original

JPEG compression discards some detail. Repeatedly compressing a previous result can increase artifacts, so start each attempt from the original photo.

Common questions

Are my files uploaded?

File contents are processed in your browser. Download the result before closing the tab. The website still makes normal requests to load its software and advertising.

Does conversion replace the original?

No. Each result is a new file. Compare it with your original before you use or submit it.
