Compress an image to 100 KB

  • Runs on your device
  • Works offline once loaded

Many application forms and portals reject files above 100 KB. Add your photo and the tool searches for the highest quality that fits, shrinking the dimensions only when it has to. The picture is never uploaded.

How it works

  1. Drop your images.
  2. Set a target size or choose a quality level.
  3. Check the preview and download.

Why use it

  • Target of 100 KB preset, editable.
  • Finds the best quality that fits.
  • Shows before and after.
  • Batch with ZIP.

Questions and answers

How does it reach exactly 100 KB?

It tries several quality levels and, if needed, smaller dimensions until the file is under the limit.

Will my photo look bad?

Most photos stay fine at 100 KB when they are a normal phone size. Very large originals lose more.

Pixels, DPI and file size: how big does a photo need to be?
