All image processing is done locally in your browser via WebAssembly, ensuring privacy. Smart compression balances quality and size, supports batch processing, before/after comparison, and one-click download. Optimizes image loading and transfer efficiency for SEO, social media, email, and more.
JPG (or JPEG) is the most widely used lossy image compression format, standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group in 1992. It is natively supported by virtually all devices and platforms.
Oversized images slow page loading and consume storage and data. Proper compression improves load speeds, boosts SEO, and meets platform upload limits for smoother sharing and usage.
JPG uses lossy compression, permanently removing some image data for smaller files. It converts colors into luminance and chrominance, splits the image into 8x8 pixel blocks, uses mathematical transforms to identify less important visual information, and discards data based on the chosen quality setting. MozJPEG uses smarter algorithms to optimize traditional JPG encoding, improving compression efficiency by 5-15% at the same visual quality.
| Use Case | Quality Level | Compression Ratio | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Archiving, professional photography | 90-100 | 20-40% | Preserves detail, skin tones, and lighting; ideal for print and original backups |
| Web images, social media, email | 75-89 | 50-70% | Visually lossless, optimal for web loading |
| Thumbnails, previews | 60-74 | 70-85% | Small display size, trades detail for speed |
| Extreme compression, low-bandwidth, batch storage | Below 60 | 85%+ | Works for large images; visible artifacts on small images |
