Compress JPG online without uploading to a desktop app. Adjust quality to shrink photo file size while keeping acceptable visuals for websites, forms, and messaging. Processing runs locally in your browser.
JPEG compression is lossy—each save can soften fine detail. Start from the highest-quality original you have.
Web performance improves with smaller images; pair compression with resize when dimensions exceed layout needs.

How to use this tool
Upload a JPG or JPEG, set quality or target size if available, preview, then download the compressed file.
Worked example
Example: a 3.2 MB phone photo at 85% quality drops near 800 KB—often enough for blog heroes or application uploads.
When to use this
- Blog and CMS uploads with size limits.
- Email attachments on mobile data.
- Speeding up page load on image-heavy pages.
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.
Privacy and file handling
Your data is processed in your browser and is not uploaded to our server.

Frequently asked questions
Are JPG and JPEG the same here?
Yes. Both extensions refer to the same format and work with this tool.
Is EXIF data removed?
Compression may strip metadata depending on settings—remove location data separately if privacy matters.
Does compression run locally?
Yes. Standard image compression on Utilnivo runs in your browser without uploading files to a server.
