Notice: Your files are processed 100% locally in your browser and are not saved to any database. Please download your files once editing is complete to prevent losing your work.

Forms, job portals, and CMS uploads often cap file size. Compress here instead of resizing in a heavy desktop editor.

Choose a smaller quality preset (medium, low, or smallest) before downloading so the result matches the place you plan to use it.
Keep the original file until you have opened and checked the downloaded result.
For large files, leave this browser tab open until the progress message says the work is complete.

Limits to know

Very large files can take longer because compress jpg online work happens in your browser when possible.
Refreshing or closing the tab can clear unsaved work, so download the finished file before leaving.
Some older apps only accept common formats, so use a related converter page if the first export is not accepted.
