How to compress an image to a specific file size

  1. Open a photo. Drop it here, paste it, or choose a file.

  2. Enter the size limit in KB from your form or site.

  3. Download the photo. It fits under the limit at the best quality for its pixel size.

What you can do

  • Any target size in KB
  • Finds the highest quality that fits
  • Keeps quality at 70% or higher by reducing the pixel size first
  • Saves as JPEG or WebP

Questions

What size limit do forms usually ask for?+

Limits vary widely. Enter the exact limit from the form; the photo lands just under it.

Why can’t it reach my target size?+

The limit is too small even at the lowest quality, which happens when Shrink if needed is off. Turn it on, or resize the photo first.

Which format should I pick?+

Pick JPEG when a form asks for JPG, which most do. WebP gets better quality at the same size where it is accepted.

Are my photos uploaded?+

No. The photo is compressed in your browser and never leaves your device.
