How to compress an image to 500KB

  1. Tap the box above and choose your photo.
  2. The size is already set to 500 KB. Change it if your form asks for a different limit.
  3. Compare the original and compressed photo in the preview.
  4. Tap Download to save the compressed image.

500KB keeps a photo sharp for most uses. Because phone photos can be 3MB to 10MB, compressing to 500KB makes uploads and emails much faster with little visible change.

Frequently asked questions

How do I compress a photo to 500KB?

Choose your photo above. The size is already set to 500KB, so the tool lowers the quality step by step, and shrinks the pixel size only if needed, until the file fits.

What if the photo cannot reach 500KB?

Very large or detailed photos may need to be smaller in pixels. Use the Resize option (percentage or custom width and height) and try again.

Can I compress many photos at once?

Yes. Select several photos together and each one is compressed to the size you set.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. Everything runs inside your own browser, so your photo stays on your device. That makes it suitable for ID photos and signatures.

Is this tool free?

Yes. It is free, needs no sign-up, and has no limit on the number of photos.
