How to Reduce the Size of JPEG Images Using Watermarkly
You can reduce JPEG size online in our online tool. Follow these simple steps:
- Go back to the app’s window.
- Drag the desired images from your computer into the window or click "Select images" to choose one of the following options: from your computer, from Google Drive, from Google Photo, or Dropbox. If you want to upload from either of the cloud storages, you will need to give our JPEG size reducer permission to access your files.
- Click "Add Images" if you need to upload more photos. Click "Clear" if you want to remove all the imported images from the app. Once you uploaded all the JPEGs for compression, proceed to the settings.
- In the Settings section at the bottom of the tool choose the quality for your compressed copies:
- • Better Quality. Our JPEG size reducer will do its best to ensure that the image quality is high.
- • Smaller Size. If quality is not as important as the size of your files, then this is the option for you. Our app will reduce JPEG size as much as possible.
- • Specific File Size. This option allows you to enter the exact number of Kb or Mb that you want your compressed images to be.
Please note that if you choose the Better Quality or Smaller Size options you will see the size of your compressed images only after the JPEG compression is finished. Whereas with the Specific File Size option you will have more control over the final result.
- Click on “Compress Images” to start the compressing process. Then download your processed copies to your computer, Google Photos or Dropbox.
A size of a file is the number of bytes it occupies in a device’s memory. Images that have the size of 7 or more megabytes (MBs) tend to be too big for websites. If you upload even a handful of them, it will take quite a while for them to fully load. Most visitors of your website won’t like that and will quickly leave.
Reduce the size of your JPEG files to around 200 KBs before uploading them onto your website. This is the perfect size, since the speed of your website won’t slow down even if you upload a large number of JPEG photos.
Note! Watermarkly has a lot to offer – not just a JPEG size reducer. On our website you can also:
- watermark photos and watermark PDFs for free;
- crop images into a rectangle or square, as well as circle crop;
- resize photo;
- add text to single image or logo;
- convert to JPEG: PDF, HEIC, PNG, BMP, GIF and WebP;
- blur faces, blur license plates and blur part of image online.
