Compress JPG & JPEG Photos: Reduce MB to KB Online
Batch compress smartphone and camera JPEG photographs from 10MB+ down to web-friendly sizes under 500KB. Automatically strips privacy-sensitive EXIF location metadata with interactive before-and-after visual inspection.
DCT Quantization & Privacy-First EXIF Stripping
Digital cameras and smartphones embed extensive metadata into JPEG headers: GPS latitude and longitude, camera serial numbers, exposure settings, and timestamps. When compressing photos with TableView, rendering through an isolated HTML5 Canvas automatically discards unnecessary EXIF tags, protecting your privacy prior to public distribution.
Our quantization matrix balances luminance and chrominance fidelity, ensuring that skin tones, textures, and subtle gradients remain smooth without the pixelated block artifacts common to aggressive online tools.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does JPEG compression reduce photo file sizes?
JPEG utilizes discrete cosine transform (DCT) lossy compression. By adjusting the quality parameter between 70% and 85%, TableView eliminates high-frequency image data imperceptible to the human eye, reducing typical 8MB–15MB DSLR/smartphone photos to 400KB–900KB.
Does compressing JPG photos strip private EXIF GPS metadata?
Yes. When re-rendering photos via the browser HTML5 Canvas, unnecessary EXIF headers, camera serial numbers, and sensitive GPS geolocation coordinates are naturally stripped, protecting your personal privacy before sharing photos online.
Can I resize large 4K photos down to standard web dimensions?
Yes. TableView includes resolution constraint presets: you can cap maximum width or height to 1920px (Full HD), 1280px (HD), or 800px (blog standard), which drastically cuts file size while maintaining pristine visual sharpness.
Is there a limit on how many JPGs I can compress at once?
No server-imposed limit exists. Because compression utilizes your local machine multi-core CPU and memory, you can batch compress dozens of photos in a single session and download them all via 1-click ZIP.
