Set JPG (JPEG) compression level in Apple Compressor?

How do I set the compression level for JPG (JPEG) images in Apple Compressor for Mac?


Here's what I'm trying to do:

  1. Import ≈300 images taken with my camera.
  2. Apple a LUT (.cube) to them.
  3. Export them in a more compressed format for upload to a website (without changing the resolution of the image!).


Is there seriously no way to do something as simple as setting the compression level for the world's most common image format in an app literally titled "Compressor" from the world's highest valued company?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.5

Nope, Compressor doesn't offer that setting. I just do the conversions in the Finder (right-click, Quick Actions, Convert Image, JPEG) and get nicely sized files for my web sites. Also, apps like Pixelmator Pro are better at resizing than Compressor. I'd use another app made specifically for converting stills, not Compressor, if you desire that level of control. There are a few out there that are nice. But no, Compressor has never been an in-depth conversion tool, it's really nice, but not as in-depth like others are.
