About Compress JPEG
Lower the storage used by a JPEG photograph by reencoding its visible pixels. Inspect fine text and textures for added compression loss. No larger replacement is offered: if the new JPEG does not shrink, the original is kept.
Compress JPEG runs locally without uploading your selected file or requiring an account. Although file selection allows up to 1 GB, available device memory can limit this particular task.

Common questions
Will Compress JPEG return a file larger than my original?
No. If compression cannot make a smaller file, the original is returned instead. Already efficient files may not shrink. Review the Compress JPEG result before using it.
Can I set Compress JPEG's size target in KB?
Yes. Enter your target in the size field. Image compression can lower quality and dimensions to approach it. Use Upload Ready when exact dimensions must remain unchanged. Review the Compress JPEG result before using it.
Will Compress JPEG keep transparent pixels?
The browser photo compressor saves JPG, which does not support transparency. Use Compress PNG for a PNG workflow. Review the Compress JPEG result before using it.
Does Compress JPEG guarantee acceptance by an upload form?
No. File size is only one requirement. Check the format, dimensions and visual quality too. Upload Ready can check the requirements you enter. Review the Compress JPEG result before using it.
Which settings can I adjust in Compress JPEG?
Compress JPEG exposes target size. These choices apply to this task's output, so inspect the saved file after changing them.
Does Compress JPEG upload my file for processing?
Your selected file stays on this device while Compress JPEG runs. There is no file upload for this operation, although its memory demands can still exceed a phone or computer's available resources.
