Why phone photos are so big

Phone cameras save 12–48 megapixel images at very high quality. Websites and forms display them far smaller, so re-encoding at a sensible size and quality saves most of the bytes.

Frequently asked questions

What's the best quality setting?

“Balanced” is visually indistinguishable for most photos. Use “High” for printing and “Small file” for web uploads.

Does it remove location and camera data (EXIF)?

Yes. The output is a freshly encoded image, so GPS location, camera model and other EXIF metadata from your phone are not carried over.
