JPG compression FAQ
Does compressing a JPG reduce quality?
Usually, yes. JPG compression is lossy, but moderate quality settings can make files much smaller with little visible difference.
Should I convert JPG to WebP instead?
For websites, WebP is often smaller. Keep JPG when a platform specifically requires it or when you need broad legacy compatibility.
Can I compress several JPGs at once?
Yes. Add a batch, process once, and download the optimized files or a zip.
