FAQ
Can I compress to an exact KB?
The tool uses iterative compression to get as close as possible to your target. Due to the nature of JPG compression, there may be a ±5% variance.
What if the target size is too small?
If the target is smaller than the image can be compressed, the tool will notify you and output the smallest possible file.
Are my images uploaded?
No. All compression happens in your browser. Images never leave your device.
How much can JPG compression reduce file size?
High quality (80%) typically reduces size by 40-60%. Low quality (30%) can achieve 70-85% reduction. Exact savings depend on image complexity.
Is EXIF data preserved after compression?
Yes by default. Compression does not modify EXIF metadata (camera settings, GPS, etc.). You can strip EXIF in settings if needed.
Does it support batch compression?
Yes. Upload multiple JPG images, set a uniform quality level, and process them all. Download individually or as a ZIP.
How do I compress to a specific KB size?
Choose Target size mode and enter the desired KB value. The tool iteratively adjusts quality to hit the target within plus-or-minus 5% tolerance.
