How much can I compress a JPEG file?

Typical compression reduces JPEG files by 50-80% depending on the image content and quality setting. Photos with complex detail compress more than simple graphics.

Does compression reduce image quality?

Our compressor uses smart lossy compression. At the recommended quality settings, the difference is virtually invisible to the human eye while dramatically reducing file size.

What is the recommended quality setting?

For JPEG: 70-85% for web photos, 85-95% for high-quality portfolios. Use the quality slider and compare before/after to find your ideal balance.

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. Compression runs 100% in your browser using the Canvas API. Your files never leave your device.

Can I compress multiple images?

Yes — process as many images as you need, one at a time. There are no daily limits or quotas.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes! The compressor works in any modern mobile browser — iPhone, Android, iPad, and tablets.
