JPEGs straight from a camera or phone are often 3-8 MB each — too fat for email attachments (most providers cap at 20-25 MB total), slow to upload, and they bloat web pages. The fix is re-encoding at a saner quality level. A quality setting around 80-85 typically cuts file size by 60-80% with no visible difference on screen.
The faymox compressor does this entirely in your browser: pick a quality level, watch the new file size update, and download. Nothing is uploaded, so even client-confidential photos are safe to process.
Compress JPEG in 3 steps
- Drop your JPG/JPEG files into the Image Compressor.

FAQ
How much smaller will my JPEG get?
A 5 MB phone photo at quality 80 usually lands under 1 MB — roughly an 80% reduction. Already-compressed images shrink less.
Will compression make my photos look worse?
At quality 80-90, no visible difference on screens. Below about 60 you'll start seeing artifacts in smooth gradients like skies.
Is there a file size limit?
The tool runs on your device, so the practical limit is your browser's memory. Everyday photos are no problem.
