How to compress a JPG

JPG compression is lossy. Balanced mode keeps more photo detail. Maximum mode makes a smaller JPG and can soften fine texture. JPG has no transparency.

  1. 1

    Select JPG files, up to 20, 10 MB each and 100 MB in total, or drop them onto the page.

  2. 2

    Choose balanced compression for portraits and product photos, or maximum when a smaller email or form upload matters more than fine grain.

  3. 3

    Start compression, compare the new file size with the original, then download. Keep the original JPG if you may need the extra detail later.
