Compress images to reduce file size while maintaining quality. Supports JPG, PNG, WebP.
Shrink any photo to 20 kilobytes or less for application forms and portals with strict size limits.
Reduce image file size to 50KB for exam portals, job applications, and email attachments.
500 KB is less about a hard portal rule and more about good manners and good performance: it's a sensible ceiling for an image you attach to an email so you don't clog someone's inbox, and a solid budget for a web hero or banner image that has to look crisp without dragging down page-load speed. This tool compresses a JPG, PNG, or WebP toward 500 KB locally.
Give it the 500 KB target and it lowers quality, then dimensions only if necessary. Half a megabyte is enough to keep a large, full-width photo looking clean on high-resolution screens while cutting the multi-megabyte bloat that phone cameras produce.
Nothing is uploaded, so you can prep hero images or email photos privately and re-run until the size feels right.
