1. Start with the original

Keep an untouched copy of the image. File size reduction is easier to judge when you can compare the final image with the original.

2. Choose compression quality

Open the image compressor, select your JPG, and adjust the quality setting if available. Lower quality usually produces a smaller file, but fine details and edges may become less crisp.

3. Check the output size

Download or preview the compressed result and compare the actual file size. If you have a strict limit such as an upload cap, do not assume a particular slider value guarantees that limit.

4. Resize when dimensions are larger than needed

If the image is much larger in pixel dimensions than its intended display size, use the image resizer as a separate step. Fewer pixels can reduce file size, but it also changes the displayed resolution.

Important to remember

A JPG cannot always be made smaller without a visible trade-off. Keep the original and inspect the compressed version at the size it will actually be viewed.
