The most common result. A shiny, metallic "40" often adorned with stars or confetti. Best for: Female 40th birthday parties, luxury branding.
Here’s an approximate comparison for a 12-megapixel photo (4000×3000 pixels):
| Quality Setting | Approx. File Size | Compression Ratio | |----------------|------------------|-------------------| | 100 (Maximum) | 8–12 MB | 2:1 to 4:1 | | 90 (High) | 2–4 MB | 10:1 to 15:1 | | 60 (Medium) | 500 KB – 1 MB | 25:1 to 35:1 | | 40 (Low-Med)| 200–400 KB | 50:1 to 70:1 | | 20 (Very Low) | 80–150 KB | 80:1 to 120:1 | 40 jpg
At quality 40, you save significant bandwidth and storage space, but the image is no longer suitable for printing or professional use.

A setting of 40 sits in the low-to-medium quality range. Here’s an approximate comparison for a 12-megapixel photo
At this level, the compression algorithm aggressively discards visual data to reduce file size. While this can shrink an image to less than 5% of its original size, it comes at a cost.
If you have 40 JPGs and need to process them all at once:
