Sometimes an upload form, an email, or a website needs an image under a specific size, like 50 KB or 100 KB, and your photo is far larger. This free tool compresses any image down to the target size you choose and keeps the shape of the picture, so it does not look stretched. It saves the result as a JPG you can download and use right away.
Everything runs inside your browser. Your image is never uploaded to a server, so it stays private on your own device.
Compress your image to a target KB
Pick a target size, or type your own, then choose your image and press Compress Image.
How the image compressor works
The tool re-saves your image as a JPG and lowers the quality step by step until it fits under the size you asked for. If the picture still cannot reach a very small target at full resolution, it gently reduces the width and height as well, always keeping the original proportions. You can also set a maximum width if you want to cap how large the image is in pixels.
When you need a smaller image
Common cases are government and exam application forms that cap uploads at 20 to 100 KB, email attachments that are too big to send, marketplace and classified listings, and website images that slow a page down. Reducing the file size fixes all of these without changing what the picture looks like.
How to resize an image to a specific KB
- Click a target such as 50 KB, or type the exact size you need.
- Press Choose File and select your image.
- Click Compress Image and wait a moment.
- Download the JPG, which will be at or under your target.
Is this tool safe?
Yes. The whole process happens in your browser on your device. Your image is not uploaded, stored, or shared, so there is no privacy risk.
