Compress JPG Without Losing Quality — Free
Compress JPG images by 60–80% without visible quality loss — for free, in your browser. JPEG’s strength is that you can drop quality from 100% down to about 80% with no perceptible difference at normal viewing sizes. This tool exposes a real-time preview and live size readout so you can find the sweet spot for each photo: usually 75–85% quality cuts file size by more than half while keeping skin tones, text, and fine detail looking original. It runs 100% client-side, so no images are uploaded — your photos and EXIF data stay on your device. Perfect for blog images, ecommerce, portfolios, and email attachments where speed matters but pixel-quality cannot drop visibly.

Frequently asked questions
What quality setting keeps a JPG looking original?
75–85% is the visual sweet spot — typically 50–70% smaller than the original with no visible difference at normal sizes.
Why do my JPGs lose quality every time I save?
JPEG is lossy, so each re-save degrades it slightly. Always edit a copy and only export to JPG once.
Is there truly lossless JPG compression?
JPEG itself is lossy. For true lossless, convert to PNG or WebP-lossless. The closest "lossless" JPG trick is to re-encode at the exact original quality.
Does compression strip metadata?
Yes — re-encoding removes most EXIF tags, which is good for privacy.
