Below 60 edges start to show; 75 is a good balance.

Get a photo under 100 KB for a form without handing it to anyone.
What this does NOT do
- It cannot work miracles on photos that are already compressed: if an image will not get smaller, you get it back unchanged.
- It does not keep GIF animation: only the first frame is used.
- It does not compress PNG losslessly: an opaque PNG comes out as a JPG, and one with transparency as a WebP.
- It uploads nothing, so it cannot keep a copy for you either: download the result before you close the page.
This tool runs entirely inside your browser. There is nothing to upload, so there is nothing we can see, store or lose. You can disconnect from the internet and it will still work.
Frequently asked questions
How do I reduce a photo to 100 KB, 200 KB or any other size?
Choose "By maximum size", type the number, such as 100 KB, and drop the photo. The tool tries different qualities until it finds the highest one that stays under that size. If even the lowest quality is not enough, it also reduces the image dimensions and tells you it did.
Is it safe to compress photos on this site?
Yes: the photo is never uploaded to a server. Your own browser does the compression, with the same engine it uses to display images, and you can check by turning off your wifi after the page has loaded: it still works. That makes it suitable for photos of documents, such as an ID card or passport, that should not be handed to an unknown website.
Does compressing an image reduce its quality?
Slightly, and almost always invisibly at quality 75 or above. JPG and WebP compress by discarding detail the eye barely registers; below 60, blocks start to show around edges and in gradients. If an image was already heavily compressed and cannot get smaller, you get the original back untouched.
Why did my PNG come out as a JPG or a WebP?
Because PNG has no lossy compression, and saving it as PNG again rarely makes it lighter. A PNG without transparency becomes a JPG, which is what most forms ask for; one with transparency becomes a WebP so the transparency is kept. If you need to keep the format, choose it under "Advanced options".
Does compressing a photo remove its metadata?
Yes, whenever the photo is re-encoded: the new image is generated from the pixels and carries no GPS location, phone model or date. The exception is when it cannot be made smaller and you get the original back intact; the tool says so, and you can clean it with the metadata tool.
How many images can I compress at once?
Up to 30 images of up to 50 MB each per batch, and as many batches as you like: there is no daily limit and no account. With more than one, you can download them all together as a ZIP file. The limit exists because everything happens in your device’s memory, and a modest phone cannot hold much more at once.
