Why Downsize.pics for JPEG Compression?
The Quality Sweet Spot
Quality 80 is the industry standard for web photos — sharp enough to look great, compressed enough to load fast. Adjust freely.
Perfect for Photography
JPEG is designed for photographic content with smooth colour gradients. Our compressor finds the maximum savings with the minimum visible change.
Control What Data You Keep
Quality 80 dramatically reduces EXIF metadata bloat. Pro users can explicitly strip GPS, camera model, and other private metadata.

- Nothing — they are the same format. JPG is the older three-letter extension used by early Windows systems; JPEG is the full name.
