How to compress an image to 500KB
- Choose your photo or drop it into the box.
- Keep the target at 500 KB, or change it to any size you need.
- Check the preview, then download the new file.
The tool tries the best JPEG quality that fits under your limit. If the quality alone is not enough, it reduces the image dimensions a little at a time until the file fits.
Why 500KB?
500KB keeps most of the detail of a photo while cutting a large file down. It is a handy size for blog images and higher-quality uploads.
