Why compress JPEG images?
Photos straight from a phone or camera are often 3–10 MB. That is far more than you need for websites, email or chat. Large images slow down pages, fill up storage and can be rejected by upload forms.
JPEG compression removes detail your eyes barely notice. At a quality of around 75, most photos shrink by 60–80% and look the same on screen. We use MozJPEG, an optimized encoder that produces smaller files than standard JPEG at the same quality.
Because everything happens on your device, there is no upload wait and no privacy risk. Camera details and GPS location (EXIF metadata) are removed, which saves even more space.
Frequently asked questions
Is CompressJPG free?
Yes, completely free to use.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. Images are decoded and re-encoded inside your browser.
What quality setting should I use?
75 is best for photos on the web. Use 85–90 for print or very detailed images, and reduce further when file size matters most.
Does compression remove EXIF data?
Yes. Metadata such as camera model and GPS location is removed. Orientation is applied to the pixels first, so photos stay upright.
Will the compressed file ever be larger than the original?
No. If re-encoding a JPEG would make it bigger, you get the original file back unchanged.
