Compress JPG Photos
JPG Compression Explained
Key insight: JPG is already compressed, but not optimally. Re-encoding at quality 85-90 removes redundant data without visible loss.
Why Re-Compress JPG?
- Photos often saved at quality 95-100 (wasteful)
- Quality 85 is visually identical to quality 100
- 50-70% file size reduction possible
Typical Results
- • 4MB JPG → 1.2MB (70% reduction)
- • 2MB JPG → 0.7MB (65% reduction)
- • 10,000 photos: 25GB → 8GB
Recommended Settings
- Quality: 85-90 (visually lossless)
- Progressive: Enable for web (faster loading)
- Metadata: Preserve EXIF (date, location)
