Compress and reduce the size of JPG images using Smallpdf. Free to use; no registration or download is required.
It’s easy to store, open, and share JPG images. This very popular image format takes up very little space, as its content is compressed. That doesn’t mean that a JPG can’t be on the large side, though. If you need to reduce the size of a particularly large JPG, you’re just in the right place. Smallpdf can help you compress a variety of files—including JPG images—without costing you anything at all!
How to Reduce JPG File Size for Free Online
Go to the JPG Size Reducer.
Upload your JPG and let our tool convert it to PDF.
Click “Compress” on the result page.
Choose “Basic compression.”
Click on “Export As” and choose “Image (.jpg).”
Done! You now have a compressed version of your JPG.
Easy and effective JPG file size reducer
To elaborate, Smallpdf can compress PDFs and also convert JPGs to and from PDF. So, in order to reduce the size of your JPG, you just need to combine these tools, and you’re good to go.
Maximum Compression
The compression level has been tested and fully optimized to reduce the size of your JPG as much as possible without negatively affecting the image quality.
We’ll do the math for you, and the compression rate (in percentage) will be displayed on the result page post-compression for you to analyze. Although we can’t set how much you can cut down with our JPG size reducer, we’ve been hitting the mark for the last five years with millions of monthly users. Do check it out for yourself!
Compress Different Kinds of Images with a Batch Option
Images can get quite bulky, depending on the source of origin. Regular photos taken from your smartphone can go up to 2 or 3 MB, making it a hassle to store or share. A picture taken with a professional camera can easily be a hundred times as large, so you can imagine why people may want to take the size down a notch.
With our tools, you don’t have to handle each file individually. You can use our image compressor to handle individual files or batches. Just add the files to the PDF compressor in their original image format. Once they’re converted to PDF and compressed, you can turn them back into JPGs in the next step.
How to Use the Online Image Size Compressor
- Open the Image Compressor page.

Scanned JPG Images
If the document you used is a scan in JPG format and you want to edit it further, you can convert it to PDF, then to Word. Smallpdf uses sophisticated Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software, which converts scanned files to an editable format for you, making it easy to edit pretty much anything.
