How to: Compress JPG
- Select JPG images.
- Choose quality and optional max width.
- Download the compressed photos.
Phone photos are 3–10 MB each – too big for many upload forms and emails. FreePDF re-encodes your JPGs at the quality you choose, optionally resizes them and strips hidden EXIF/GPS data, all inside your browser.
Common uses
- Meet a 200 KB or 1 MB limit for job or exam application photos.
- Email a batch of holiday photos.
- Speed up product images on an online shop.
- Remove GPS location before sharing photos.
Tips for best results
- Combine a max width (e.g. 1600 px) with quality 75 for the biggest savings.
- Check the '% saved' figure; if small, the photo was already optimised.
- Need an exact size in KB? Lower quality step by step.
