By its very nature JPEG compression is a lossy process. According to the site resizer.app: "The quality of a JPEG image decreases as its file size decreases, and constantly editing and re-saving JPEG photos may further cause the quality to degrade."

To me, the real question is whether I or the person using the JPEG will notice the loss of quality. If it is noticeable, using the RAW format of the image for editing is recommended.
