Reduce photo size to 500 KB

Many portals only accept images below a fixed size, and 500 KB is one of the most common limits — typical for website uploads, WhatsApp sharing and document portals with a 500 KB cap. This page opens with the target already set to 500 KB, so you just upload and download.

How it works

Need a different size?

Use the buttons above to switch to 20 KB, 30 KB, 100 KB, 200 KB or type any custom size. For exam photos that also need exact centimetre dimensions, use the Photo & Signature Resizer.

Frequently asked questions

How do I compress a photo to 500KB?

Upload your image and press Compress — the target is already set to 500 KB. The tool lowers quality step by step (and size only if needed) until the file is at or below 500 KB, then you can download it.

Will the photo look blurry at 500KB?

The tool keeps the highest quality that still fits 500 KB. For best results start from a sharp photo and crop away empty space first.

My form needs between 20 and 500 KB — will it work?

Yes. The output stays below 500 KB. If a form also has a minimum size, use our Photo & Signature Resizer, which checks both limits.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The tool runs entirely inside your browser, so your files and data never leave your device. Nothing is stored or seen by us.
