JPG Optimization Features
• Advanced compression optimization

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reduce JPG file size without changing the format?
Use Image Machine's JPG-to-JPG optimizer. Adjust the quality slider until the file size meets your target. Dropping from 100 to 80 typically reduces file size by 60–70 % with minimal visible difference — the sweet spot for most web and email use cases.
Why would I convert JPG to JPG if the format stays the same?
This tool is a compressor, not a format converter. Re-saving at a lower quality setting shrinks the file, which is useful for email attachments with size limits, social media uploads, or reducing storage usage across a large photo library.
Does re-saving a JPG at lower quality degrade it further?
Yes, each lossy re-save introduces a small additional amount of compression artifacts. Keeping the quality setting at 75–90 % minimizes visible degradation while still achieving meaningful file-size reduction. Avoid repeated re-saves of the same file.
Can I use this to fix a JPG that looks blocky or corrupted?
If the blockiness stems from heavy prior compression, re-saving at a higher quality won't restore lost detail — those artifacts are already baked in. However, re-encoding can sometimes resolve metadata or header inconsistencies that cause display problems in certain viewers.
Are my photos sent anywhere when I use the JPG optimizer?
No. The entire re-compression process runs locally in your browser — your files are never transmitted to any server. Your photos stay on your device, keeping them private regardless of how sensitive the content is.
