Step by step

How to use it

  1. Drag your images into the box or select them from your device. It accepts JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP, HEIC, and TIFF, up to 50 at a time.
  2. Check the result in the viewer: the original is on the left and the compressed image on the right. Drag the divider to compare, and zoom with Ctrl + scroll (⌘ + scroll on a Mac), with two fingers, or with the zoom buttons. Double-click to switch between fit and 100%.
  3. Move the quality slider, pick a shortcut (Web, Email, Best quality, or Smallest size), or set a format, a size, or a maximum file size. Every change shows up instantly, with the new file size and the percentage saved.
  4. Go through the batch in the image strip. If one image needs different treatment, select it and turn on “Adjust only this image.”
  5. Download the image you are viewing, or all of them together in a ZIP, from the summary bar.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a 500 KB limit for?

It is common on job portals, learning platforms, and email with attachment caps. It also keeps a website’s photos light without losing too much quality.

Can you notice the compression at 500 KB?

In most photos, not at a glance. It is a generous size that keeps details well. Use the comparison viewer if you want to be sure.

Does it keep the metadata?

By default it is removed, including the GPS location. If you need to keep it on a JPG to JPG conversion, turn on “Keep photo data (EXIF).”

A comfortable limit for phone photos

Photos from a current phone can weigh several megabytes. Bringing them down to 500 KB makes them manageable for emails, forms, and websites with no visible loss at screen size. This page has that value already selected.

How to use it

Drop in one or more photos and the tool fits them to the limit. The size before and after appears on each file, and the viewer lets you check the result with zoom. If you need a smaller size, try under 200 KB; if you want to adjust everything by hand, open the image compressor.
