How It Works

  1. Upload your JPG/JPEG file using drag & drop or the file browser.
  2. The tool analyzes image dimensions, quality level, and compression ratio.
  3. Review EXIF metadata including camera info, date taken, and GPS data.
  4. Check color information and dominant color palette.
  5. Follow optimization recommendations to improve your JPG for web use.

Understanding JPG Properties

Quality

JPG quality (1-100) affects both visual fidelity and file size. Most images look great at 80-85% quality with significantly smaller file sizes than 100%.

EXIF

EXIF metadata contains camera settings, date/time, GPS coordinates, and more. While useful, it can increase file size and pose privacy risks.

Compression

JPG uses lossy compression to reduce file size. Higher compression means smaller files but more quality loss, especially in detailed areas.

JPG Best Practices

Photography

JPG is ideal for photographs with complex colors and gradients. Use 85-95% quality for archival, 70-80% for web.

Web Images

For web, keep file sizes under 200KB. Consider WebP for even better compression with similar quality.

Privacy

Strip EXIF metadata before sharing photos online to remove location data and camera information.

Avoid For

Don't use JPG for logos, text, or graphics with sharp edges - use PNG or SVG instead for these.

Pro tip: Use our JPG Compressor to reduce file size while maintaining quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

JPG (or JPEG - Joint Photographic Experts Group) is the most widely used image format for photographs and web images. It uses lossy compression to significantly reduce file sizes while maintaining acceptable visual quality.

The quality score (0-100) evaluates your JPG based on file size efficiency, quality level, dimensions, and optimization potential. Higher scores indicate better balance between quality and file size for typical web use.

For web images, 70-80% quality is usually sufficient and provides good compression. For print or archival purposes, use 90-95%. Quality above 95% offers diminishing returns with much larger file sizes.
