Compressing JPG images is one of the easiest ways to reduce file size while keeping your photos looking good. Smaller images are easier to upload, share, store, and use on websites.
Why Should You Compress JPG Images?

Smaller image files can help you:

For websites, a good balance between file size and image quality is usually more important than achieving the smallest possible file.
