Add a file to see a preview.

How it works

  1. Add JPG photos, or drop a whole folder.
  2. Move the quality slider. The preview shows the real size and a before/after split for the selected photo.
  3. Press Compress. The chosen quality applies to every photo.
  4. Download each file, or all of them as one ZIP.

FAQ

Which quality should I pick?
About 75 is a good balance. Below about 50, blocky edges start to appear. Use the split view and zoom to check.
Does the preview match the file I download?
Yes. The preview is made with the same encoder and settings as the download.
Why did my file get bigger?
A photo that is already well compressed can grow when saved at a higher quality. The result is flagged, and you can keep the original.
Is metadata removed?
Yes. Camera details and location are left out, and photos stay upright.
