    Guide for Compress JPG

    Introduction

    Shrink JPG files for faster sharing while keeping them clear for screens and print. This guide focuses on getting a lighter file without visible artifacts.

    When to use JPG compression

    • Email attachments and messengers with size limits
    • Product photos for marketplaces or landing pages
    • Photo-heavy PDFs you plan to send after converting
    • Archiving albums without losing important details

    How to use

    1. Prepare photos: remove duplicates and screenshots you do not need.
    2. Upload JPG files (up to 500 MB each) via button or drag-and-drop.
    3. The tool automatically balances size and quality; wait for processing to finish.
    4. Download the optimized JPGs. If you need an even smaller file, re-run the result.

    Tips and recommendations

    • Start from the original photo (not an already compressed copy) to avoid double artifacts.
    • Keep resolution as-is if text is present; compressing is usually enough for readability.
    • For transparency or logos, consider PNG compression instead: Compress PNG.

    Example: prepare product photos for a listing

    • Upload a set of 10 photos (4–6 MB each).
    • After compression, each image is typically a few hundred KB while still sharp on desktop and mobile.
