Compress JPG for web when Core Web Vitals and bandwidth matter. Reduce JPEG file size for hero images, blog photos, and thumbnails while keeping acceptable quality on desktop and mobile.
Pair compression with resize to display width—serving 4000 px images in 800 px slots wastes bytes.
Use modern formats like WebP when your stack supports them, with JPG fallback elsewhere.

How to use this tool
Upload your JPEG, choose a web-friendly quality preset, download, and test on your staging site.
Worked example
Example: compress a 2.8 MB hero JPG at 80% quality WebP export—often under 500 KB for blog headers.
When to use this
- Blog hero and inline images.
- Landing page background photos.
- Thumbnail grids in content-heavy sites.
Common examples
- 2.8 MB hero JPG at 80% quality WebP → often under 500 KB for blog headers.
- 4 MB product PNG → JPEG export at 85% for catalog listings when transparency is not needed.
- Batch of blog images resized to 1200 px wide then compressed → faster LCP on static sites.
- 1.8 MB team photo → WebP at Balanced for about 200 KB on careers page.
- Ecommerce PNG with transparency → compress without converting to JPEG when alpha matters.

How it works
Upload a JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF image, choose a compression level and output format, then compress. The tool may resize very large images and tries multiple quality settings (and WebP plus JPEG in Auto mode) to find a smaller file. Processing runs in your browser—files are not uploaded to a server.
Limitations
Compression is lossy for JPEG output. Very small images or transparent PNGs may not shrink much without visible quality loss.

Frequently asked questions
What quality setting is best for web?
Start around 75–85% for photos. Compare visually before publishing.
Should I use WebP instead of JPG?
WebP often yields smaller files at similar quality. Use convert-image when your CDN supports it.
Will EXIF metadata remain?
Compression may strip metadata depending on settings—remove sensitive GPS data when needed.
