Compress image
A form says the photo must be under 1 MB, 200 KB or 50 KB? Pick that size and drop the pictures in: each one comes back under it, as sharp as the size allows, and nothing leaves your device.
How to compress an image to a size
- Pick the size the form asks for: under 2 MB, 1 MB, 500 KB, 200 KB, 100 KB, 50 KB or 20 KB.
- Drop your images on the box, or click it to choose them. Each one shrinks as it is added; the row shows the new size.
- Save the images one by one, or all of them in a single ZIP file.
Questions
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs inside your browser, on your own computer or phone. Your files are never sent to a server, so nobody else can see them.
Is there a limit on how many files I can convert?
No daily limit and no sign-up. Drop as many files as you like; the only limit is your device's memory, so very large batches simply take longer.
How is the picture made smaller?
First by saving it with a little more compression, which the eye hardly notices; only when that is not enough are the pixels reduced, as little as needed. The row says what happened: the new size, and the new pixel size when it changed.
Which format do I get back?
A JPG for photos (JPG, HEIC and pictures without transparency), a WebP stays WebP, and a PNG with transparent parts stays PNG, with fewer pixels where it has to shrink. A file already under the size is kept exactly as it came.
Can it make a 20 KB photo for an application form?
Yes. A 20 KB or 50 KB target needs far fewer pixels, so the photo comes out a few hundred pixels across, which is what those forms expect. Check the form's own pixel requirements too, and resize first if it names a width.
Is the quality kept?
A PNG keeps every pixel. A JPG is saved again at high quality, so the change is hard to see, and its date taken and camera details are kept in the file.
