Why photos shrink 80% and logos don't
JPG compression hides its work inside photographic complexity — grass, skin, sky absorb the approximation invisibly. Flat colors and hard edges have nowhere to hide it, which is why a photo drops 60–80% without visible change while a logo shows halos almost immediately.
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Photos | 60–80% smaller, no visible change |
| Screenshots & graphics | Less gain, earlier artefacts |
| Quality sweet spot | ~80% for photographs |
| Repeat compression | Loss stacks — always start from the original |
| Max input | 50 MB |
Typical jobs people use this for
- Bringing a 12 MB phone photo under a form's 2 MB cap
- Lightening product photos so the shop page loads fast
- Shrinking a batch of holiday photos before cloud upload
When this is the wrong tool
Logos, diagrams and text screenshots belong in PNG — compressing them as JPG trades tiny savings for visible fuzz. And never compress an already-compressed file a second time when the original still exists.
