About this tool

Shrink photos to an exact size such as 50 KB, 100 KB or 200 KB, so they pass upload limits on government, HR and university portals. Quality is lowered first; the image is only made smaller in pixels if needed.

How to use it

  1. Add one or more images.
  2. Pick the maximum size, or enter your own in KB.
  3. Select Compress images, check the before and after sizes, and download.

Questions and answers

Will the portal accept the file?

Results are JPG, the format nearly every portal accepts. Sizes are measured strictly (1 KB = 1,000 bytes), so they pass either kind of size check.

What if my image is already small enough?

It's kept exactly as it is and marked "already under the limit".

Will my photo look worse?

The tool keeps the highest quality that fits the limit. Very small limits on very large photos will reduce detail.

Are my images uploaded?

Everything happens in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server, so nobody else can see them.
