JPG Compressor – Compress JPG Images Online for Free

What Is JPG Compressor?

JPG Compressor is a free, browser-based tool for compressing JPEG images in batches. Designed for .jpg and .jpeg files, it helps reduce image file sizes while letting you control the compression quality.

Use this JPG compressor online to shrink photos before emailing, uploading, or publishing them. The tool uses lossy JPEG compression, so lower quality settings generally produce smaller files but may reduce image detail.

Compression runs directly in your browser, so your images are not uploaded to ToolsViewer servers.

How to Use JPG Compressor

Step 1: Add JPG Files
Select one or more JPEG images. The tool accepts image/jpeg, .jpg, and .jpeg files.

Step 2: Set the Quality
Adjust the quality slider. The default is around 82%, while lower values generally produce smaller files with more visible quality loss.

Step 3: Compress
Run the compression process and review the result for each image.

Step 4: Compare and Download
Compare the compressed image with the original, then download the result. Each file uses a -compressed suffix and the image/jpeg format.

Shrink photos before emailing them or uploading them to forms with file size limits.

Supported Input and Output

What It Does and Does Not Do

JPG Compressor recompresses JPEG images in your browser using lossy compression. It supports batch processing and lets you compare compressed images with their originals.

It does not provide lossless JPEG optimization, and it does not edit EXIF metadata. Because compression may reduce image detail, review each result before using it for professional photography, product images, or other quality-sensitive work.

Turning HTML into an image first? Try HTML to JPG or HTML to PNG. Compressing graphics or screenshots? Use PNG Compressor.
