Getting a photo under 150 KB
Profile pictures, student and employee ID uploads, and many online forms cap photos at 150 KB. That is enough for a clear, sharp picture at the size these sites display it.
We resize and re-encode in steps, from 4000 pixels on the longest side down to 800, and keep the largest, highest-quality step that fits under 150,000 bytes.
Tips
- Crop to the part of the photo that matters first. Every pixel you remove is one less that has to be squeezed.
- Photos with lots of fine detail, like foliage or patterned clothes, take more bytes than a plain background.
- The result is a JPEG. If the form only accepts PNG, it probably also allows a larger size; check its instructions.
How it works
- 1
Drop your file
A PDF or an image. It goes over an encrypted connection and nowhere else.
- 2
Pick your limit
Choose the size the form asks for. We start with a cleanup that changes nothing you can see.
- 3
Download it
If it needs more, we find the gentlest quality setting that still fits, and delete everything soon after.
Questions
Is it free?
Yes. There is no sign-up and no watermark.
What happens to my file?
It is processed on our server and deleted automatically: the original 5 minutes after the run finishes, the compressed file after 10. A file you upload but never compress is deleted within 30 minutes. You can also delete everything right away with Delete now.
Will it look worse?
We try a lossless cleanup first, which does not change how the file looks. Only if that is not enough do we lower image quality, and we pick the gentlest setting that still fits your size.
What if my file cannot get that small?
You get the smallest version we could make and a clear note saying so, instead of a file that silently misses the limit.
Why does the size page aim a little under its limit?
Some sites count a kilobyte as 1000 bytes and others as 1024. We aim under the stricter one, so a 200 KB page aims for 200,000 bytes and the file passes either way.
