    Shrinking JPEG photos

    JPEG compression trades tiny, hard-to-see detail for much smaller files. A 5 MB phone photo often becomes 500–800 KB at quality 75 with no visible difference at normal viewing size. Reducing the maximum width, for example to 1920 px, saves even more because phone photos are usually far larger than any screen needs.

    Each re-save of a JPEG loses a little quality, so keep your originals and compress copies once.
