Why JPEG photos are bigger than they need to be

Cameras and editors save JPEGs at a high quality setting and add metadata, such as camera details and GPS location. We choose a quality for each photo that still looks right and remove all metadata. JPEG files usually come out more than 60% smaller, measured on real images compressed with TinyPNG. Photos that were already compressed save less.

Why people use TinyPNG

Looks the same, weighs less

We remove detail you can't see, such as unused colors and hidden metadata. The image looks the same and the file is much smaller.

Free, no sign-up

Web Free takes 20 images per session without an account. Web Pro and Web Ultra have no image limit.

Trusted since 2012

Designers, developers, marketers and many more: millions of people use TinyPNG. Together they've shrunk over 9 billion images.

Why your files get smaller

TinyPNG removes what your eyes can’t see and keeps what they can. Your photo looks the same and weighs a lot less.

Colors we keep

Fewer colors

A photo can hold millions of colors. We merge the ones your eye can’t tell apart, so the file needs fewer bytes to store them.

Smarter encoding

Every image gets its own settings. Flat graphics and busy photos are compressed in different ways.

No hidden extras

Camera data and other metadata you don’t need are removed. Your pixels and dimensions stay exactly the same.

For developers

“While there are other ways to achieve a 70% reduction in image size, TinyPNG is the easiest and fastest method I’ve found. Plus, it doesn’t alter the image file names, which is great for maintaining SEO integrity.”

Questions about compressing JPEG

Should I use JPEG or AVIF on my website?

AVIF is usually smaller: a JPEG converted to AVIF usually comes out more than 70% smaller, and one converted to WebP more than 75%, measured on real images converted with TinyPNG. Keep JPEG for email, upload forms and anything you share outside the web.

Can I compress JPG and PNG files at the same time?

Yes. Every file comes back in its own format.

Are JPG and JPEG the same?

Yes. They are the same format; only the file extension differs. Old Windows only allowed three letters for the file extension, so JPEG became .jpg. Renaming one to the other changes nothing about the file.

How do I reduce the file size of a JPEG?

Compress it here. JPEG files usually come out more than 60% smaller, measured on real images compressed with TinyPNG. Each photo gets a quality that still looks right, and we remove all metadata, such as camera details, GPS location and editing history. Want to keep it? Use the developer API.

JPG or PNG: which should I use?

JPG for photos: much smaller, and it opens everywhere. PNG for logos, screenshots and cut-outs: it keeps every pixel and supports transparency. A photo saved as PNG is several times bigger than it needs to be, while flat graphics or art may be much smaller and higher quality with PNG.

What does JPEG stand for?

Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG), the committee that created the format. JPG is the same name cut to three letters.

Does JPEG support transparency?

No. Transparent areas become white when you convert to JPG, and we ask before doing it. Need to keep them? Convert to PNG, WebP or AVIF instead.

Is JFIF the same as JPEG?

Yes. A .jfif file is a JPEG with a different extension. Rename it to .jpg, or drop it here to get a compressed JPG.

Is JPEG lossy?

Yes, always, even at the highest quality setting. Saving a JPEG again can lose a little more detail, so keep your original.

What is a JPG file?

A JPG file is a photo saved in the JPEG format, named after the Joint Photographic Experts Group. It keeps photos small by dropping detail the eye barely notices, which is why it is lossy, and it has no transparency. Cameras, phones, websites and email all use it, and every browser, app and email client opens it.

Is it free?

Yes. Web Free compresses 20 images per session, up to 5 MB each, without an account. Web Pro and Web Ultra raise the limits.

Are my images private?

Yes. We store your images encrypted, download links expire after 8 hours, and we delete your images from our servers within 48 hours.

What happens to the metadata?

We remove all metadata, such as camera details, GPS location and editing history, to keep files small. Want to keep metadata? Use the developer API: it can keep the copyright, creation date and location.
