Bad Quality Image Maker

Upload the picture, choose Lower quality for compression, Pixelated for visible blocks, Blurry for soft edges, or Shared many times for a forwarded look. Move Strength until the damage is visible, then download the JPG.

Upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP photo, start with Lower quality, and raise Strength until it looks rougher but the subject is still clear. You can add pixels, blur, or noise for a stronger low-quality photo effect.

Lowering JPEG quality keeps similar dimensions but removes image detail and adds compression artifacts. Lowering resolution or Output scale makes the picture physically smaller. Use JPEG quality for a rougher export and Output scale when the dimensions or file size need to drop.

Yes. The tool works in a modern mobile browser. Upload the picture, choose a look, compare the preview, and download the JPG without installing an app or creating an account.

To make an image low quality without turning it into a meme, start with Lower quality. Use Shared many times for a forwarded screenshot or reaction image. Use Pixelated for visible squares, Blurry only when soft edges are the point, and Deep fried when the overcooked look is the joke.

Move it until the damage is obvious, then stop while the subject is still clear. For photos and avatars that is often around 50-70. For memes and forwarded screenshots, 60-85 is more common. If the face or caption disappears, go back.

Blur and large pixel size destroy small type first. Use Shared many times or Lower quality, keep strength moderate, and leave Blurry alone. If you open more controls, set blur to 0.

No. A compressor tries to keep the image looking good while shrinking the file. This page makes the image look worse on purpose. If you only need a smaller clean upload, use Reduce Image Size KB.

No. Heavy noise and contrast can make a JPG larger because the file has more detail to store. Check the original and result sizes under the preview. To shrink the file, lower output scale and JPEG quality before adding noise.

Only after the named look is close. Use those sliders for one leftover problem: JPEG quality for compression, output scale for file size, pixel size for blocks, blur for softness, or noise for grit. Do not move all of them at once.
