Drop your JPEG image into the box above — straight from your phone, camera or downloads folder.
Compress
The target is pre-set to 100 KB. Adjust anything, then hit Compress image.
Download
Preview the result, check your savings, and download — guaranteed under your target size.
Why JPEGs get so heavy
JPEG is the world's photo format — and phone cameras are generous with it. A single snapshot can leave your phone at 4–8MB, not because it needs to be, but because camera apps save at very high quality settings meant for editing, not sharing.
For viewing on screen, most of that data is invisible. This tool re-encodes your JPEG at the smartest quality for your target size — typically cutting 50–90% of the file with no perceptible difference. And because JPEG is JPEG, the result opens absolutely everywhere: every phone, browser, email client and upload form on the planet.
Tips
- Set the target to match the job. 100KB is the all-rounder default; use 20–50KB for strict portals and 250KB+ when quality matters most.
- Do not re-compress a WhatsApp image. Start from the original photo — each JPEG generation loses a little detail, and starting clean keeps the result crisp.
- Keep the quality ceiling high. The 92% default lets the tool preserve maximum detail while still hitting your target size.
- Resize oversized photos first. A 4000px photo destined for a 1200px blog slot wastes most of its bytes — resize, then compress.
Common uses
- Email attachments — photos that sail through size limits instead of bouncing.
- Website images — faster pages, better SEO, happier visitors.
- Upload forms — job portals and applications with strict file caps.
- Messaging apps — quick shares that do not eat your data plan.
