Progressive JPEG loads images in multiple passes — first showing a blurry version, then progressively refining to the full image. This gives users a visual preview while the image loads.
Baseline JPEG loads line by line from top to bottom. Progressive JPEG is better for web performance perception.
How to use
- Drag and drop JPEG files onto the upload area, or click to select files.
- Each file is converted to progressive JPEG format automatically.
- Download individual files or use Download All to get a ZIP archive.
Baseline vs Progressive JPEG
Baseline JPEG loads pixel data line by line from top to bottom. Users see the image appearing gradually.
Progressive JPEG loads in multiple passes. First a low-quality preview appears, then it sharpens with each pass. This feels faster to users even though the total load time may be similar.
Convert with Python
Convert baseline JPEG to progressive using Python with Pillow:
from PIL import Image
original = Image.open('input.jpeg')
original.convert('RGB')
original.save('progressive.jpeg', optimize=True, quality=100, progressive=True)
