Open seller presets → How JPEG compression works
A JPEG stores photos by describing blocks of pixels with fewer numbers, throwing away detail your eye is unlikely to notice. The quality setting controls how much is thrown away. Phones and cameras save at very high quality, so there’s usually a lot of room to shrink the file before anything looks different.
What each level does
| Level | JPEG quality | Typical result |
|---|---|---|
| Light | High | 30–50% smaller, safe for printing |
| Balanced | Medium-high | 60–80% smaller, looks the same on screens |
| Strong | Medium | 80–90% smaller, fine for previews and chat |
If the result wouldn’t be smaller than your original, we keep your original file and tell you, so you never end up with a bigger file.
How to do it here
- Compress is open with Balanced and JPG set.
- Drop your JPG/JPEG photo (or a PNG/HEIC; it will be saved as JPG).
- Hit Repixel it ✨. The stats show before → after; download when you’re happy.
Tips for the smallest good-looking file
- Start from the original. A photo saved from WhatsApp is already heavily compressed.
- Big photo, small screen? Tick Also shrink to max 2048 px. Pixels you’ll never see are the biggest waste.
- Need an exact limit? “Under 100 KB” is a job for Resize image to 100 KB.
- Many photos? Bulk resize runs the same compression on up to 10 at a time.
How we make sure it’s really smaller
After compressing, the studio compares the new file with your original. If the “compressed” version would be the same size or bigger (which happens with files that were already squeezed by an app), we hand back your original and say so, instead of giving you a worse photo with no saving. Every result also shows the exact pixel size, so you can see that only the file shrank.
JPEG quality, explained simply
Think of JPEG quality as a dial from 1 to 100. Cameras usually save around 90–95, which keeps detail that only shows when you zoom right in. Balanced lowers it to a level where the photo looks the same on a phone or laptop screen. Strong goes lower still, which you may notice in smooth areas like sky, where faint bands can appear. If you see that, step back to Balanced.

FAQ fr
How much smaller will my JPG get?
Phone photos usually shrink by 60–80% on Balanced. Photos that were already compressed by an app may shrink much less.
Is JPEG the same as JPG?
Yes. They're the same format; .jpeg and .jpg are just two spellings of the file extension.
Can I compress a JPEG to an exact size like 100 KB?
Use KB size mode for that. It finds the best quality under your exact limit and checks the bytes.
Will the photo look worse?
On Balanced, you'd have to zoom in a lot to see a difference. Choose Light if you'll print it.
