Compress JPG Under 300KB — Free Online

Need a JPG file under 300KB — for an email attachment, a form upload limit, or a faster-loading web page? JPG files are re-encoded as JPEG internally to reach small target sizes, since JPEG compresses photographic content more efficiently than other formats. Upload your image, drag the quality slider, and download once it's small enough.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I compress a JPG to under 300KB?+
Upload your JPG image to the free compressor, then drag the quality slider down until the displayed file size is under 300KB. Lower quality means a smaller file but more visible compression artifacts.
Why is my JPG still large after compressing?+
Very large or highly detailed images may need a lower quality setting, or resizing the image dimensions first, to reach a small target size like 300KB.
Does this upload my image to a server?+
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API — your image never leaves your device.
