Compress one image or a whole batch to 500 KB each. Handy for detailed scans and images with a size cap. The tool sets the JPEG quality automatically to hit the size you need, then lets you save each file or all of them as a ZIP. Nothing leaves your device.

This free tool reduces your pictures to 500 KB each, right inside the browser. Plenty of websites, government portals and application forms cap uploads at a fixed size, and a file that is even a little too large gets rejected. Instead of guessing with a quality slider, you add your photos and every one is brought to 500 KB at the best quality that still fits.
500 KB is a generous limit used by sites that accept larger documents and images. It lets detailed scans and good quality photos through while still being easy to upload and email.
500 KB is generous, so most web sized photos stay close to their original quality. The tool only trims the file enough to fit, which means very little visible change. For an even smaller file, try compress to 300 KB. For higher quality with more room, use compress to 1 MB.
Add a single picture or a whole batch and each one is compressed to 500 KB on its own. Every file keeps its name with the size added, so they stay easy to tell apart. Download any image with its own button, or use the download button to save them all together in a ZIP when you have more than one. It works the same on a phone and a computer.
When should I target 500 KB? When a form or site allows up to 500 KB and you want to keep as much detail as possible without sending a huge file.
Does 500 KB reduce quality? Barely. For typical photos and scans, 500 KB is roomy, so the change is hard to see.
Need a different limit? You can also 5 KB, 10 KB, 15 KB, 20 KB, 20 to 50 KB, 25 KB, 30 KB, 40 KB, 50 KB, 100 KB, 150 KB, 200 KB, 300 KB, 1 MB and 2 MB. For any custom size, use the image size reducer.
Everything happens in your browser using your own device. Your images are never uploaded to a server, there is no account or sign up, and no watermark is added. Close the tab and nothing is left behind, which makes this a safe way to prepare photos, signatures and documents for upload.
