JPG is the most common photo format - and the most compressed-by-default. But every uploaded JPG can still shrink 20-60% without visible quality loss by re-encoding at a smarter quality level. Drop one or many JPGs and download smaller versions instantly.
When to use this
Common JPG-compression needs: shrinking 5+ MB phone photos for email, reducing portfolio shots for web upload, hitting the 200KB cap on government forms, compressing batch product photos for e-commerce.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between JPG and JPEG?
None - JPG and JPEG are the same format. JPG is just a shorter file extension that came from old Windows file systems that limited extensions to 3 characters.
Will my JPG lose quality after compression?
Some - JPG is a lossy format so every re-encode reduces quality slightly. We use smart defaults (quality 75-85) where the loss is virtually invisible but the file is much smaller. Pick 'Maximum Quality' for the smallest acceptable loss.
