If you want to get JPG images down to the smallest possible file size, simply use Smallpdf's PDF compressor. With this tool, you can change your file to PDF format, compress that PDF, and switch your image back to its original format in mere moments.

How to compress JPG online using Smallpdf
Optimizing Images for Size and Quality
When you choose Basic compression, our PDF compressor will remove repetitive patterns from your image, reducing its file size while keeping it in perfect condition visually. While traditional image compressors may compromise some image quality for a smaller file, we ensure that your files' color, formatting, and text content remain intact.
If your compressed image file is still too big, repeat this process and choose Strong compression. This compression mode may affect the quality of your JPG files, but it will reduce your image size even more than Basic compression—in fact, it can shrink your image's file size by up to 75%! While Strong compression is a Smallpdf Pro feature, you can try it out for free with a 7-day free trial.
On a side note, Smallpdf is also compatible with several non-JPG image formats. Our tools can work with images stored in formats such as:
- BMP
- TIFF
- GIF
- PNG
No matter what image format you throw at us, we'll compress it for you and save the result as a JPG—easy-peasy!
Can I Remove My JPEG Images From Your Site?
Though paying attention to digital security is always wise, that doesn't mean you have to remove the images you compress with Smallpdf manually.
We scan our system every five minutes and remove any data that was uploaded more than an hour ago (with the exception of files meant to be stored for extended periods, such as documents in your online storage and digital contracts).
That way, you'll have time to experiment with the other tools available to Smallpdf users without worrying about your JPEG staying on our servers forever.
Can I Compress JPEG Files on a Mobile Device?
Of course! Mobile users can access Smallpdf in one of two ways: visiting our website on a mobile browser and following the steps described above, or using our practical mobile app. With the Smallpdf Mobile App, you can compress and share JPGs on the go. Import your JPG to the app, convert it to PDF format, compress it, and convert it back to JPG—a few taps, and you're done!
