What is this?

This tool intentionally degrades your images by adding JPEG compression artifacts. Adjust the quality slider to control how "deep-fried" your images become.

Why would you want this?

  • 😂Meme Creation: The heavily compressed look is perfect for internet humor and making images look like they've been shared 1000 times.
  • 🔒Privacy: Re-encoding strips metadata (EXIF data, location, camera info) and makes images harder to reverse-image search.
  • 🎨Aesthetic: The degraded JPEG look is an intentional artistic choice for retro internet vibes and nostalgia.

How to use: Upload an image below, then adjust the quality slider (lower = more artifacts). Download or copy the result when you're happy with it.
