How Arche compresses JPEG
Arche re-encodes each JPEG with high-quality lossy compression at the same pixel size, and removes metadata such as camera details and GPS location. Photos straight from phones and cameras are often saved at a very high quality setting, which leaves the most room to shrink.
Photos that are already compressed
A JPEG that has already been compressed for the web may barely get smaller. Arche checks every result and only offers it when it is smaller than your original; otherwise it tells you and you keep the original.
