Frequently asked questions

How do I compress an image to 500 KB?

Choose your image, keep 500 KB as the target size and tap Compress image. Then pick JPG, WebP or AVIF and download it.

Will my photo look worse at 500 KB?

The tool lowers the quality first and only makes the picture smaller in pixels if it has to. For the sharpest result under 500 KB, also set Max width / height to the size your form or website needs.

Which format looks best under 500 KB?

AVIF and WebP usually look sharper than JPG at the same file size. For online application forms, use JPG unless the form says it accepts WebP or AVIF.

Is my image uploaded?

No. It is compressed inside your browser and never leaves your device.
