Compress Image to 500KB
Compress a JPG, PNG or WebP photo to under 500KB in your browser. Free, no sign-up, nothing uploaded.
How it works
500KB is a common upload limit for documents and photos on job and admission portals. Most phone photos need a strong squeeze to reach it, but the result still looks almost identical on a normal screen.
- Choose your photo.
- Wait a moment while it is fitted to the limit.
- Download the JPG and upload it to your form.
Common questions
How big is a typical phone photo?
Often 2 to 8MB. Getting under 500KB means cutting it by a factor of four to sixteen, which this tool does in a couple of seconds.
Can I upload several photos at once?
Not at once, but you can run them one after another and download each result.
Will the result be a JPG?
Yes. PNG and WebP uploads are converted to JPG, which nearly all forms accept.
