JPG Compressor
Make JPG photos smaller in seconds, and keep them as JPG.
Drop in your JPG photos and shrink them in one go. Choose the quality, optionally limit the width so oversized phone and camera photos shrink even more, and download the smaller JPGs one by one or as a ZIP. Camera data (EXIF) is removed too, which saves space and hides details like location. Add up to 50 files at once. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded. Free, with no sign-up and no watermark.

Why Compress JPG Files?
To compress a JPG, lower its quality (70–80% usually looks the same as the original) and scale it down if it is wider than it needs to be. Teasoft's JPG Compressor does both in your browser and keeps the file as a JPG: add your photos, set the quality and an optional maximum width, click Compress images and download the smaller files.
Phone and camera photos are often 3–10 MB each. That is too big for many email attachments, slow to upload, and heavy on a web page. JPG is the format those photos come in, and it is the one that opens on virtually every device, form and print service, so it is usually best to keep it. Compressing the JPG, rather than converting it, gives you a smaller file with no compatibility worries.
There are two ways to shrink a JPG, and this tool gives you both:
1. Lower the quality. JPG compression discards fine detail the eye barely notices. This is the biggest saving for most photos.
2. Reduce the dimensions. A 6000 px photo shown at 1200 px wide wastes most of its pixels. Limiting the width removes them, and that saving is often bigger than quality alone.
On top of that, camera data (EXIF) is stripped. That metadata can include the date, camera model and even GPS location, so removing it saves a little space and means a photo shared online doesn't reveal where it was taken.
Common reasons to compress JPG files:
- You need photos small enough to email or attach to a form.
- A job portal, school form, government site or marketplace rejects files over a size limit.
- Your website or blog loads slowly because of heavy photos.
- You are running out of phone, computer or cloud storage.
- You want to remove location data before sharing photos publicly.
- You want a folder of photos smaller for sharing or backups.
What each setting does:
| Setting | What it does | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Quality | Lower values make smaller files with more compression. Default is 75%. | Almost always. 70–80% usually looks the same as the original. |
| Limit width | Scales photos wider than your limit down to it. Narrower photos are left alone. | Big phone or camera photos, or any photo bigger than it will be shown. |
Good to know
- Compression is lossy. Lower quality means smaller files but some lost detail. Keep your originals until you've checked the results.
- Don't compress the same JPG over and over. Every pass removes a little more detail. Compress once from the original.
- EXIF is removed. That is good for privacy, but it also removes the shooting date, camera settings and any copyright note stored in the file. If you need that data, keep the original.
- Some JPGs barely shrink. A file that was already compressed (for example one saved by WhatsApp or a website) may not change much. Check the size after compressing.
What You Can Do With This Compressor
- Control the quality. The slider starts at 75%. Lower values make smaller files, and 70–80% usually looks the same as the original.
- Limit the width. Set a maximum width in pixels. Wider photos are scaled down, narrower ones are left untouched.
- Stays JPG. Your files keep the format that opens everywhere, with no conversion step.
- EXIF removed. Camera data is stripped, which saves space and removes location details.
- Compress in bulk. Add up to 50 JPGs at once, each up to 100 MB, and download them all as one ZIP.
- Private by design. Files are processed in your browser and never uploaded to a server, which matters for personal photos, IDs and client work.
- Add files your way. Drag and drop, browse, or paste with Ctrl+V.
- No sign-up, no watermark, no fees.
- Works on any device. Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iPhone, in any modern browser.
Which Image Tool Should I Use?
Use the JPG Compressor when you have JPG files and want them smaller as JPG. If you want even smaller files for a website, convert to WebP. If your files are in another format, such as PNG, WebP or HEIC, use the general Image Compressor or a converter.
How to Compress JPG Images (3 Steps)
Add your JPG images
Drag and drop your files, click browse, or press Ctrl+V to paste. You can add up to 50 JPG files, each up to 100 MB.
Choose your settings
Open Settings. Keep quality around 70–80%. If your photos are very large, set a maximum width such as 1600 px for email or 1200 px for a blog.
Compress and download
Click Compress images, check the sizes, then save each file or use Download to get everything in one ZIP.
Tip: if a file is still too big, lower the quality a little or set a smaller width, then compress again from your original (not from the compressed copy).
Which Settings Should I Use?
| Goal | Quality | Limit width |
|---|---|---|
| Email attachments | 65–75% | 1600 px |
| Photos for a blog or website | 70–80% | 1200–1600 px |
| Full-width website banners | 70–80% | 1920 px |
| Form or portal with a size limit | 50–70%, check the size | 1200–1600 px |
| Sharing on messaging apps | 70–80% | 1280–1600 px |
| Keeping the best look for printing | 85–90% | Leave empty |
| Storage and backups | 70–80% | Leave empty |
These are starting points, not guarantees. Check the size and the look of the result, then adjust.
How to get a JPG under a size limit (for example 100 KB, 200 KB or 1 MB):
This tool does not target an exact file size, so use this routine: set a maximum width that suits the photo (width gives the biggest saving), start at 70–75% quality, then check the size. If it is still too big, lower the quality in steps of 5–10% or reduce the width, and compress again from your original. Photos with lots of fine detail shrink less than simple images.
Should I compress JPG or convert it to WebP?
| Choose | When |
|---|---|
| Compress JPG (this tool) | The photo must stay JPG: email attachments, upload forms, print services, older software. |
| JPG to WebP | The photo is for a website and you want the smallest file. |
Tips for compressing JPGs
- Keep the original files until you've checked the compressed versions.
- Use one setting for the whole batch. If some photos need different treatment (for example detailed product photos), compress them separately at a higher quality.
- Compress from the original each time, not from an already compressed copy.
- Have PNG, WebP, HEIC or other formats? Use the Image Compressor, or convert them to JPG first with Images to JPG.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I compress a JPG?
Open Teasoft's JPG Compressor, add your photos, keep quality around 70–80%, optionally set a maximum width, click Compress images and download the smaller JPGs individually or as a ZIP.
How can I reduce the size of a JPG without losing quality?
You can't remove all loss, but you can get a much smaller file with little visible change. Keep quality at 70–80% and limit the width to the size you actually need. At these settings most photos look nearly identical but are noticeably smaller.
What quality should I use for JPG?
The default is 75%, and 70–80% usually looks the same as the original. Go to 85–90% for detailed photos you will print or zoom into, and lower (50–65%) only when you need the smallest possible file.
What does the "Limit width" setting do?
It scales down any photo wider than the value you enter, in pixels, and keeps the proportions. Photos that are already narrower are left as they are. Reducing the width is often the biggest saving for large phone and camera photos.
How do I compress a JPG to 100 KB, 200 KB or 500 KB?
The tool doesn't target an exact size, but you can get there in a few tries. Set a smaller maximum width, start at 70% quality and check the file size. Lower the quality a little and compress again from your original until it fits.
Does compressing a JPG reduce quality?
Slightly, because JPG compression is lossy. At 70–80% the difference is usually hard to see at normal viewing sizes. Keep your originals in case you need full quality later.
Why didn't my JPG get much smaller?
It may already be compressed, for example if it was saved from a messaging app or a website. Try a lower quality or limit the width.
Why is my compressed JPG not much smaller than the original?
Photos with lots of fine detail, such as foliage or textures, shrink less than simple images. Reducing the width usually helps more than lowering quality further.
Does the compressor remove EXIF data?
Yes. Camera data (EXIF), such as the date, camera model and GPS location, is removed. This saves a little space and protects your privacy, but if you need that information, keep the original file.
Will compressing a JPG change its format?
No. The file stays a JPG, so it opens in the same apps and uploads to the same forms as before.
Can I compress PNG, WebP or HEIC files here?
This tool is for JPG files only. For PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP or AVIF files use Teasoft's Image Compressor, and for HEIC convert to JPG first with Images to JPG.
How many JPGs can I compress at once?
You can add up to 50 files in one batch, each up to 100 MB.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Compression happens in your browser, and your files are never uploaded.
Can I compress JPGs on my phone?
Yes. The tool works in the browser on Android, iPhone, tablets and computers. You do not need to install an app.
Is the JPG Compressor free?
Yes. It is free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no hidden fees.
