Compress Images
For forms that say “max 300 KB”, just enter the target size.
Hit a target file size exactly
Job applications, school portals and government forms often say “photo under 300 KB” or “max 1 MB per file”. Enter a target and the tool starts at high JPG quality and steps down until it finds the best quality that's still under your target. If lowering quality isn't enough, it scales the image down as well.
Options
- Save as — JPG opens everywhere; WEBP is smaller at the same quality but some older apps can't open it. Keeping PNG preserves transparency but doesn't shrink much.
- Max long side — phone photos are often 4000 px or more. Scaling to 1920 px alone cuts the size dramatically with no visible difference on screen.
- Set quality manually — fix the quality instead of a size. 75–85 is a good range.
Results
When it's done you'll see a table with each file's original size, new size, savings and final dimensions. A single photo downloads directly; several come as a ZIP. Photos that can't get any smaller are kept as they are. The orientation tag (EXIF) is applied, and metadata such as GPS location isn't saved — a privacy bonus.
Everything happens in your browser. Photos are never uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
How much quality is lost?
With a reasonable target there's hardly any visible difference. Very small targets (under 100 KB) may reduce dimensions and soften details.
What about iPhone HEIC photos?
They work — HEIC photos are converted to JPG or WEBP while compressing.
Can I compress PNGs with transparency?
Choose “Original format” to keep PNG and its transparency. Converting to JPG fills transparent areas with white.
