Image Compressor: Reduce a Photo or Scan to Under 20, 50 or 100 KB

Make an image smaller in KB while keeping its dimensions, for upload limits on application portals.

Your files stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

How to use

  1. Choose the image you want to make smaller.
  2. Enter the KB limit the portal allows, for example 100 KB.
  3. Press Compress image. The dimensions stay the same, only the quality is reduced.
  4. Download the result and upload it on the form.

Questions

▸Will the image get smaller in pixels too?

No. This tool keeps the original width and height and only lowers the quality. Use the Photo Resizer if you also need exact dimensions.

▸Can it compress a PNG?

The result is saved as a JPG, which is the format that can be shrunk to a KB limit.

▸How small can it go?

It finds the best quality that fits your limit. Very small limits on large images may fail, in which case reduce the dimensions first.
