Getting an image under 500 KB
Phone photos are often 3 to 5 MB. At 500 KB they still look good on any screen, which is why it is a common limit for listings, profile uploads and support forms.
Our highest-quality setting keeps up to 4000 pixels on the longest side at JPEG quality 92. We only step down as far as the size requires.
Tips
- Most screens show far fewer pixels than a phone camera captures, so the size drop is rarely visible.
- Large PNG screenshots often shrink the most, since they are stored without lossy compression.
- Need several photos done? Each file is compressed separately; upload them one at a time.
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.
