About this tool
Many websites and email systems accept images up to 500 KB, which is plenty for a clear photo. Choose your photo and this tool finds the highest quality that still fits under 500 KB.
How to use it
- Choose your photo.
- Check that the target size says 500 KB.
- Press Resize & Compress.
- Download the file and use it on your form.
When 500 KB is enough
Many websites and email systems allow files up to 500 KB, which is plenty for a clear picture on a screen. Phone photos are often ten times bigger, so compression helps a lot here.
If you are building a website, smaller images load faster, which helps visitors and search engines. Try the WebP output format, which often gives a smaller file than JPG at the same look.
Common questions
Will the file be exactly 500 KB?
It will be 500 KB or a little smaller. The tool picks the best quality that stays under the limit.
The result is still too big. What now?
Phone photos are often several MB, so this usually shrinks them a lot with little visible change.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The photo is processed inside your browser and never leaves your device.
Can I use PNG files?
Choose JPG as the output format. PNG files cannot be reduced to a target size.
