Does this tool strip GPS coordinates from my photos?

Yes. Compressing your photo automatically strips embedded GPS and camera metadata for enhanced privacy.

Can I process multiple JPGs at once?

Yes, you can drop multiple JPEGs to compress them simultaneously in your browser.

What is chroma subsampling in JPEG compression?

Chroma subsampling reduces color resolution while maintaining luminance detail, exploiting the human eye's higher sensitivity to brightness than color to reduce file size.

Does compressing a JPEG multiple times degrade quality?

Repeatedly re-compressing already lossy JPEGs can accumulate generation loss. For best results, always compress from your high-resolution master original.

What is JPG Compressor?

JPG Compressor optimizes JPEG files by fine-tuning Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) quantization tables and stripping extraneous metadata headers. It delivers maximum file size reduction while preventing compression artifacts and color distortion.
