How JPEG Compression Works

JPEG compression uses a complex algorithm to reduce file size by selectively discarding data that the human eye is less likely to notice. This process, known as "lossy compression," is highly effective for photographs and realistic images.

Our tool leverages the HTML5 Canvas API built into your modern browser. This allows us to re-encode the image at a specific quality level (from 1% to 100%) entirely on your device. This means your private photos never travel across the internet, ensuring maximum security and speed.

Unlimited Use

Compress as many high-res photos as you want without hitting paywalls or caps.

Best Practices for Image Compression

  • Web & Email: Aim for 60-75% quality. This typically results in files under 200KB, perfect for fast loading emails and websites.
  • High-Res Printing: Keep quality above 90%. File reduction will be minimal, but it ensures maximum detail for print.
  • Passports & Docs: Many portals require files under 50KB or 100KB. Use the slider to dial in the exact size needed. For even better web performance, consider converting your images to WebP format.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to compress JPG to 200KB?

Simply upload your image and use the Quality Slider. Lower the quality percentage until the 'Compressed' size shows under 200KB.

Will my image lose quality?

JPEG is a 'lossy' format. However, setting quality to 70-80% drastically reduces file size with almost no visible difference to the human eye.

Is this safe for private photos?

Absolutely. We use Client-Side Compression. Your images are processed by your own browser and never uploaded to any external server.
