Orientation handled
EXIF orientation is normalized before encoding so portrait photos do not unexpectedly rotate in the output.

Make photographs lighter while keeping the tradeoff visible.
JPEG is a lossy photo format, so its useful control is the balance between visible detail and byte size. Smart mode starts conservatively; manual quality gives you direct control.

- Default output

- Smart, quality, resize, target size
Useful byte targets
Target-size mode keeps the highest tested quality that fits the limit, and can offer proportional dimension reduction when quality alone is insufficient.
How it works
JPEG files selected here remain in your browser. Metadata is stripped by default; preservation is an explicit opt-in because EXIF can contain time, device and location details.
Choose JPG files
Add JPEG or JPG files. Other formats are rejected on this focused page before preview decoding.
Choose the balance
Use Smart mode, set a quality percentage, resize large dimensions or search for a target byte limit.
Review the result
Compare bytes and dimensions, inspect the optimized preview, then download one file or the completed batch.
Useful for
- Prepare camera photos for articles, portfolios or product pages.
- Fit large JPGs within a maximum width without enlarging smaller images.
- Bring an application photo under a required KB limit with target-size mode.
Questions about compress jpg images online
Can I choose the JPEG quality?
Yes. Manual quality lets you choose from 1 to 100. Smart mode is the safer starting point when you do not already know the right value.
Does JPG compression remove EXIF and GPS metadata?
Metadata is removed by default. You can opt into JPEG metadata preservation, with a warning that camera and GPS details may be included.
Will a compressed JPG look exactly the same?
A smaller file usually requires more loss. Use the before/after comparison and byte savings shown for each result to choose an acceptable balance.
