About JPEG files
What happens when you compress a JPG?
JPG, also called JPEG, is a commonly used image format that uses lossy compression. This allows photographs and other detailed images to use considerably less storage than an uncompressed image.
When you choose a smaller target size, the compressor can adjust JPEG quality to remove some image information. For particularly demanding targets, reducing the image dimensions can also help lower the final file size.
Smaller files are useful when a website or online form places a limit on the size of an uploaded image. The best target depends on the original dimensions, image detail and the amount of visual quality you want to preserve.
The result section shows the original and compressed sizes so you can check how much space was saved before downloading the JPG.
