Frequently asked questions

How much can I reduce a JPG file size?
Most JPGs can be reduced by 40–80% without visible quality loss. Photos from modern smartphones are often compressed to 20–40% of their original size while still looking sharp.
What quality setting should I use for JPG compression?
For web use, 70–80% quality removes invisible data while keeping photos sharp. For print or archival, use 85–90%. Below 60% you may see compression artefacts on detailed areas.
What is EXIF data and should I strip it?
EXIF is metadata embedded in JPEG files — it includes your camera model, GPS coordinates, timestamp, and exposure settings. Stripping it reduces file size and removes potentially sensitive location data.
What is the difference between JPG and JPEG?
There is no difference — JPG and JPEG refer to the same image format. JPG became common because early Windows systems only supported 3-character file extensions.
Can I compress a JPG without losing quality?
You can get close. JPEG is a lossy format by nature, but compressing from a high-quality source at 75–85% quality is visually indistinguishable from the original to the human eye.
