About SqueezeJPG

SqueezeJPG was born from a simple need: websites are increasingly filled with high‑resolution photos that slow pages to a crawl. We experienced this frustration firsthand as developers and decided to build a tool that could compress images quickly, privately and for free.

Our mission is to help web creators deliver faster sites and better user experiences. Research shows that smaller image files reduce network payloads and improve load times ^[1]. Fast pages not only keep visitors engaged but also contribute to higher search rankings ^[2].

Unlike many online compressors, SqueezeJPG never uploads your photos to a server. All compression happens within your browser using modern web technologies such as WebAssembly and efficient JPEG encoders. This means your images stay on your device, ensuring privacy and reducing risk. The tool also works offline once loaded.

We believe in transparency and user control. You can choose the quality level that works for you and preview the results before downloading. Using next‑generation formats like WebP and AVIF can reduce file sizes even further—WebP images are often 25–35% smaller than equivalent JPEG or PNG files ^[3].

Our team consists of performance enthusiasts, designers and engineers passionate about the open web. We created this site as a labour of love, and we welcome your feedback. If you’d like to get in touch, please visit our contact page.

We also publish in‑depth guides on our blog where we explore topics like why image compression matters for SEO, how to reduce photo size without losing quality and best practices for optimizing images before uploading. Check out our blog to learn more.

SqueezeJPG will continue to evolve. Our vision is to provide simple, high‑quality tools that empower creators to build faster, more accessible websites. Thank you for being part of the journey.

Our Story & Team

The idea for SqueezeJPG started in 2024 when our small team of performance enthusiasts noticed how many sites were being slowed down by bloated photos. We wanted to build a tool that made optimisation effortless for everyone—bloggers, photographers, developers and store owners alike. Drawing on years of experience in web performance and image processing, we crafted this in‑browser compressor so you never have to send your photos to a server. What began as a side‑project soon grew into a mission to share knowledge and tools that make the web faster.

Our core team includes:

• Alex K. — a full‑stack developer who specialises in performance and built the WASM encoder behind SqueezeJPG.
• Samira L. — a designer and UX advocate who ensures the interface is simple, accessible and beautiful.
• Ravi P. — an image processing expert passionate about the science of compression and quality metrics.
