What it does
Application portals often reject photos over a size limit. Enter the limit and the tool searches for the highest JPEG quality that fits, shrinking the dimensions only if quality alone is not enough.
How to use it
- Choose a photo.
- Enter the maximum size in KB.
- Compress and download the result.
Example
The example generates a small sample file in your browser and runs the tool on it. Select Try an example above to see it.
When it helps
- Visa, job and university application forms.
- Email attachments with size limits.
- Profile photo uploads.
Questions
How small can it go?
Down to about 5 KB, though very small sizes make photos visibly soft.
Is the output always JPEG?
Yes. JPEG gives the smallest files for photos; transparent areas become white.
