Everything You Need to Know About DexImage Compress JPG
How Client-Side JPG Compression Works
JPEG compression relies on discrete cosine transform (DCT) and quantization tables. By adjusting lossy quantization parameters directly inside your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API, DexImage modifies pixel density without sending your sensitive photographs over the network.
Choosing the Right Compression Ratio
For web publishing, a JPEG quality setting between 75% and 85% yields a 70-80% file size reduction while remaining visually indistinguishable from the raw uncompressed original. For print usage, keep quality at 90% or higher.
Why Browser-Based Client Processing Protects Privacy & Security
Traditional image optimization websites upload your private photos, biometric passport scans, and corporate documents to remote third-party cloud servers. This exposes confidential information to server logs, data leaks, and unauthorized archiving. DexImage runs entirely in your local browser using HTML5 Canvas and JavaScript engines. Your files never cross the network, guaranteeing 100% privacy, GDPR compliance, and zero server upload delays.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is my image uploaded to any external server?
No. Every single byte is processed locally inside your web browser using HTML5 Web APIs. No images ever leave your computer or phone.
Will compressing a JPG reduce image resolution?
Not unless you explicitly change the width and height dimensions. Standard JPEG compression lowers the file size by adjusting compression algorithms while maintaining original pixel dimensions.
How much space can I expect to save?
Most raw camera JPG photos (4MB–8MB) can easily be compressed down to 400KB–800KB (an 80%+ savings) without any visible artifacts.
Does this tool work offline?
Yes! Once the web page is loaded in your browser, you can disconnect from the internet completely and continue compressing images offline.
