How JPG compression works
JPG is where compression pays off most. Type a target size and Under1MB finds the highest quality that fits — often half the size or less with little or no visible change. Perfect for email, uploads, and anything with a limit.
Need to hit an exact number?
Target sizes live on their own pages, where the quality search runs against your limit.
Three things worth knowing about JPG
Quality is a dial
JPG lets you trade detail for size, which is where the big savings come from.
Compress from the original
Each lossy pass costs a little detail, so start from the master file rather than a file you already squeezed.
Nothing is uploaded
Your JPG is decoded and rewritten by the browser. Watch the network tab stay empty.
Questions
What quality should I use?+
Let Target size decide, or 60–80% by hand for most photos.
Can I go back to full quality later?+
No — compression is one-way, so keep your original.
Can it get my JPG under 1 MB?+
Almost always, without resizing.
Can I compress JPG files to an exact size?+
Yes — the size pages do that. Pick a limit like 500 KB and we search for the highest quality that fits underneath it.
Are my JPG files uploaded anywhere?+
No. Compression happens inside your browser, so the file never leaves your device and nothing is stored.
Is EXIF and GPS data removed?+
Yes. Re-encoding writes a clean file without camera, date or location metadata.
