How-to
This guide helps you compress high-res photos when you need to compress JPG on iphone (under 200 KB).
JPG is already a compressed format, so the main lever is re-encoding at a slightly lower quality. Small reductions (0.85 → 0.78) often save a lot of space without obvious quality loss.
Recommended starting point: Quality 0.75. If the image contains text or sharp edges (screenshots, UI), go a bit higher (0.80–0.88). For photos, you can often go lower (0.65–0.78).
Resize is the second lever. Many images are bigger than they need to be. If the display size is 1200px wide, uploading 4000px is wasted bytes. Use “Max width” to scale down before saving.
For WordPress/Shopify uploads: smaller files upload faster and reduce image processing time. For email and sharing, smaller files avoid “attachment too large” errors.
Workflow tip: compress one representative image first, confirm it looks good, then apply the same settings for a whole batch.
If your result looks blurry: increase quality a bit or avoid aggressive resizing. If you see blocky artifacts in gradients/skin tones: raise quality in small steps.
Privacy note: the tool runs locally in your browser. Your photos are not uploaded to a server.
Pro tip: batch mode converts multiple files and downloads a ZIP — ideal for galleries, blog posts, and product images.
Common mistakes
- Using very low quality for screenshots/logos (creates artifacts).
- Resizing too small and then upscaling on the website.
- Compressing repeatedly (re-encoding the same JPG multiple times).
- Forgetting to update the image on the page after downloading.
