Compress photo size
Reduce a photo's file size to the KB or MB you need. Ideal for application forms, email and websites. Quality is kept as high as the target allows.
Your files are not uploaded anywhere beyond your deviceTransparent areas (PNG, WebP) become white, because the compressed file is saved as JPG.
Location and camera data are removed automatically. Files already under the target are left unchanged.

- Choose or type the target size, for example 200 KB or 1 MB.

Frequently asked questions
How do I reduce the size of a photo?
Choose your photo, set the target size (for example 200 KB) and press "Compress". The tool sets the quality to the highest value that fits the target and, if needed, reduces the pixel size slightly.
Can I reduce a photo to 100 KB or 50 KB?
Yes. There are ready buttons for 50, 100, 200, 250, 500 and 750 KB and for 1 to 5 MB. You can also type any value or use the − and + buttons. With very small targets the photo may visibly shrink because it has to fit in less data.
Does quality drop when I compress?
JPG compression always discards some information. The tool keeps this to a minimum by choosing the highest quality that reaches the target. If the target is already bigger than the file, the file is left alone.
How do I reduce the size of a PNG?
PNG is lossless, so quality settings do not shrink it. This tool saves the compressed file as JPG, so transparent areas of a PNG become white. If you need transparency, you can reduce the pixel size in the Edit Photo tool.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything happens in your browser, your photos are not uploaded anywhere beyond your device. The saved file contains no location or camera data.
How are KB and MB calculated?
1 KB is 1000 bytes and 1 MB is 1000 KB. This matches the sizes you see in your phone gallery and on your computer. If you ask for 100 KB, the file comes out under 100,000 bytes.
