Compress image to size

Choose a target size, such as 500 KB, and download a JPEG that fits under it when the picture can be reduced that far.

It runs in your browser. What you enter stays on this device.

How to use it

  1. 1Choose an image.
  2. 2Enter the maximum size in kilobytes.
  3. 3Download the JPEG and check the size.

When it helps

  • Meet a form that rejects photos over 500 KB.
  • Shrink a picture before attaching it to an email.
  • See the new size before you download.

Good to know

  • The result is a JPEG, so transparent pixels are saved on white.
  • If the picture is still too large at the smallest useful size, the page says so instead of pretending it fit.
  • GIF files keep the first frame.

Questions

Does it always hit the exact size?

It aims to stay under the limit at the highest quality that fits. It does not pad a file up to the limit.
