Reduce JPG size and keep it a JPG
Cameras and phones save JPEGs at very high quality settings, which wastes space on detail your eyes can’t see. Re-encoding with MozJPEG — a modern, smarter JPEG encoder — removes that waste and keeps the file fully compatible, since it is still a normal .jpg.
That makes it the right choice when a platform only accepts JPG: email attachments, marketplaces, CMS uploads or job applications. Everything is processed locally in your browser.

# FAQ
Compress JPEG: common questions
How much can I compress a JPEG?
Most phone and camera photos shrink 50–80% at quality 60–75 with no obvious difference on screen.
Does compressing a JPEG reduce resolution?
Not at a normal quality setting — the pixel dimensions stay the same. Only Max size mode resizes, and only large images that couldn’t otherwise fit the limit at a decent quality.
What is MozJPEG?
MozJPEG is an open-source JPEG encoder from Mozilla that produces smaller files than standard libjpeg at the same visual quality, while staying 100% compatible.
Should I convert to WebP instead?
For your own website, WebP is usually smaller still. When the destination requires JPG, compressing the JPEG is the right choice.
