A focused JPEG compressor
JPEG is designed for photographs and other continuous-tone images. This page uses ImageCarpenter’s main compression engine with JPG-only input, so you can reduce a photo without wading through unrelated format controls.
Choose the quality you actually need
Lower quality usually creates a smaller JPG. For everyday web and form uploads, start near the default and reduce it only when you need a stricter file-size limit. The result panel shows the original size, final size and percentage saved.
When JPG compression helps most
Large phone photos, camera exports, website hero images and application-form photos are common candidates. If your source is a screenshot with sharp text or transparency, PNG or WebP may be a better format.

Does JPG compression change image dimensions?
No. This compressor keeps the pixel dimensions unless you separately use the resize tool.
Can I keep EXIF metadata?
