ABOUT THIS TOOL

Free Compress JPG — Reduce JPEG File Size Online

Compress JPG and JPEG images in your browser with an adjustable quality slider and a real before-and-after size comparison.

How JPG compression works here

Toolmera decodes the source JPG, draws the pixels to Canvas and exports a fresh JPEG at the quality level you choose. Lower settings generally reduce file size more but can introduce softness or compression artifacts.

There is no universal percentage saving because the result depends on how the source file was originally encoded and how much visual detail it contains.

Why the result may not always be smaller

A JPG that was already heavily optimized can sometimes become larger when re-encoded at a new setting. Toolmera compares the bytes and keeps the original file when the new JPEG would be larger.

The displayed before-and-after size is the useful measure for your specific image.

Resize, compress or convert?

Resize Image changes pixel dimensions. Compress JPG keeps JPG but changes encoding quality. JPG to WebP changes the image codec entirely.

If a photo is far larger than its display size, resizing first and then compressing is often the more effective workflow.

FAQ

Common questions

Will compression change my JPG dimensions?

No. Compress JPG keeps the current pixel width and height.

What happens if the compressed version is larger?

Toolmera keeps the original JPG bytes instead of giving you a larger re-encoded file.

Does the tool preserve EXIF metadata?

No. Canvas re-encoding creates a fresh JPEG from pixels and does not copy the original EXIF metadata.

Can I compress several JPGs at once?

Yes. You can queue up to four JPG or JPEG images in one compression batch.
