About the JPEG Compressor
Photos straight from a modern phone are often 3 to 8 MB. Most of that size is detail you will never see on a screen. Re-saving at a sensible JPEG quality and resolution cuts that to a few hundred kilobytes.
Adjust the quality slider, optionally cap the width, and compare sizes before downloading. EXIF metadata including GPS is removed from the compressed copies as a bonus.

Frequently asked questions
What JPEG quality should I use?
75-85 looks identical to the original for most photos; 60-70 is ideal for websites and email; below 50 artefacts become visible.
Is the JPEG Compressor free?
Yes. The JPEG Compressor is completely free with no sign-up, no watermarks, no daily limits and no premium tier.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. FileStripe processes your files locally in your web browser using JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded, so the JPEG Compressor is safe for private photos and confidential documents and even works offline once the page has loaded.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The JPEG Compressor works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Samsung Internet on phones, tablets and computers. On a phone you can pick files from your photo library or files app and share the result straight to another app.
