About this tool
Need a picture under 500 KB? Add your images, and the tool searches for the highest quality that still fits the limit. If a photo is too large to fit even at lower quality, it is scaled down a little until it does.
The size limit is already set to 500 KB. You can change it, pick a format (Auto tries WebP and JPEG and keeps the smaller file), and use View to compare the result with the original before saving.
How to use it
- Add your images (many at once is fine).
- Check the size limit, or type your own.
- Pick a format. Auto keeps the smaller of WebP and JPEG.
- Use View to compare with the original, then Save or Download all (ZIP).
Questions
How do I get an image under 500 KB?
Add the image, keep Mode on Target size, and leave Max size at 500 KB. The result shows the new size and how much was saved.
When is 500 KB a good limit?
It is a comfortable limit for full-width website photos and email attachments where quality still matters.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser, so your images stay on your device and are never sent to a server.
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and nothing to install.
