About the JPG/JPEG format

JPG (also written JPEG) uses lossy compression to make photos small while keeping them looking good. It is perfect for photos and images with lots of colours, and every device, app and website supports it.

For faster websites, convert to WebP or AVIF. For lossless editing or transparency, use JPG to PNG, and check quality settings or EXIF in the JPG Analyzer.

Frequently Asked Questions

JPG, in almost every case - a photo that is 500 KB as JPG can be 5 MB as PNG. Use JPG to PNG only when you need transparency or lossless editing.

For websites, WebP is smaller still.

Use the JPG compressor to lower the quality slightly, or the Image Resizer to reduce the dimensions. Converting to WebP makes it smaller again.

No, JPG does not support transparency. Convert it to PNG or WebP, then remove the background with the PNG Background Remover.

iPhones save photos as HEIC by default, which many Windows apps and websites cannot open. HEIC to JPG converts them in batches - or use HEIC to PNG for lossless copies.

For the web, 70-85% gives a good balance between size and quality. For printing or archiving, use 90-100%. The JPG compressor shows a preview before you download.

Drop them into JPG to PDF, arrange the order and download a single PDF. It works well for scans, receipts and photo handouts.

Many JPG tools work right in your browser, so your images never leave your device. Tools that need our server delete uploads automatically after a few hours.
