Compress image to 500 KB

Forms for jobs, exams, visas and IDs often accept a photo only up to 500 KB. Choose your image and this tool shrinks it to fit, keeping it as sharp as the limit allows.

How to use it

  2. Check the target size (500 KB) or type another one.
  3. Press Compress, then download each result.

Good to know

  • The result is a JPEG. A PNG with transparency gets a white background.
  • The tool lowers the quality first and shrinks the picture only when it must, so the image stays as sharp as the limit allows.
  • If a picture cannot reach the target size, you see a note and get the smallest result it could make.
  • Your image is processed inside your browser and is never sent anywhere.
