How to Compress JPG Images

A smaller JPG is easier to email, upload and serve on a web page. You can reduce file size by re-encoding the photo at a lower quality setting, then checking that the result still looks clear.

Steps

1. 1Open the JPG Compressor and select one or more JPEG photos.
2. 2Start around 80% quality and compress the files.
3. 3Compare the new file size and inspect the image at full size.
4. 4Download the optimized copy if the quality works for your use.

Example

A 2 MB photo can often be re-encoded into a smaller file at a moderate quality setting. The exact reduction depends on the original image and encoder.
