JPEG Tool
Compress and resize JPEG without losing quality
JPEG is the format that opens everywhere — email clients, old devices, third-party importers. This page makes your JPEGs smaller using your browser’s own encoder, without them ever touching a server. Drop a photo, set a quality, and compare the result before you save.

Supports WebP, JPEG, PNG, and AVIF up to 50MB. Processed offline.
When JPEG is still the right call
For new website images, WebP and AVIF compress better. JPEG stays useful when the destination is outside your control: attaching to email, uploading to tools with limited format support, or delivering photos that must open on any device from the last three decades.
- Universal compatibility — the safest format for unknown recipients.
- Fast encoding — handled directly by your browser’s image pipeline.
- Lossy only — no transparency channel; use PNG for graphics that need it.
Getting the smallest clean JPEG
JPEG punishes over-compression more visibly than the modern formats: push quality too far and you’ll see blocking in skies and ringing around text and edges. Work down from quality 82 (the Balanced preset) and check at 100% zoom; the optional target size in KB will auto-tune quality and scale to fit a budget — useful for form uploads with strict limits.
Re-encoding a JPEG through this tool also discards the original metadata blocks — including GPS coordinates — as explained in how to strip EXIF metadata. For the quality workflow, see compressing images without losing quality.
