Compress a photo to KB
Type the maximum KB or pick a button. The file is brought under the limit while keeping the photo’s pixel size where it can.
The photo keeps its pixel size where it can, and quality is lowered only as much as needed. If the limit is very low, the photo is made a little smaller instead of turning blocky.
PNG keeps every pixel exactly, so files are much bigger. Under a low KB limit the photo is made smaller, and at exact pixel sizes it may not fit at all. For photos, JPG is usually the better choice.
Leave width and height empty to keep the photo’s size and only reduce the file size.
How it works
- It finds the best quality that stays under the limit, so the photo is never worse than it needs to be.
- It uses an advanced JPG encoder (MozJPEG) that stores the same picture in about a quarter less space than a browser’s own, so the photo stays sharper at the same KB.
- If the limit is very low, the photo is made a little smaller instead of turning blocky.
- If a form asks for exact pixels, use “Custom size”.

Common questions
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. Cropping, resizing and compressing all happen inside your browser. The photo never leaves your phone or computer.
Will the file really be under the KB limit?
Yes. The tool finds the best quality that stays under the limit. It counts 1 KB as 1000 bytes, so the file is under the limit whether a portal counts 1000 or 1024.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free. There is no account and no watermark.
Does the file keep the photo’s location data?
No. The new file carries none of the camera’s extra data, such as GPS location.
Does it work on a mobile phone?
Yes. It works in any modern mobile or desktop browser.
