How to use it
- Add your photos.
- Type the largest size the form allows, or press one of the quick sizes.
- Press Compress. Each photo shows its new size. Download them one by one or all in a ZIP.
How it works
The tool tries the best quality that still fits under your limit. A lower quality removes fine detail that is hard to see, and the file gets smaller. If even the lowest quality is too big, and "make the picture smaller too" is ticked, it reduces the width and height a little and tries again.
Tips
- Photos with plain areas, such as a passport photo on a white wall, compress very well. Busy photos with lots of detail need more reduction.
- If a form asks for exact pixel sizes as well as a file size, first use resize and crop, then compress.
- A scanned document in one PDF is better reduced with the PDF tools.
- If a photo from an iPhone will not open, change it with HEIC to JPG first.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make a photo smaller than 200 KB?
Add the photo, type 200 in the size box with KB selected, and press Compress. The tool finds the best quality that fits and shrinks the picture a little if it has to.
Will the quality go down?
A little, because a smaller file holds less detail. For normal photos the loss is hard to see until the limit is very small. The result shows the quality that was used.
Why is the result bigger than I asked for?
A very small limit on a large detailed photo may not be reachable. Tick "make the picture smaller too", choose a larger limit, or resize the photo first.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Everything is done in your browser on your own device.
Can I compress a PDF here?
Not on this page. Use the PDF tools page, which can shrink a PDF to a size you choose.
