How to compress an image to 500 KB
- Click Select image and choose your photo, scan or signature. JPG, PNG and WebP all work.
- The target is already set to 500 KB. Move the slider or type a number if your form asks for a different size.
- Click Compress to 500 KB, check the before and after, then click Download.
Where 500 KB is asked for
500 KB is a common limit on job portals, contact forms, online stores and website builders. It also keeps photos quick to send by email or chat. A phone photo of several MB usually fits at full width and height, with a difference you will not notice.
Tips for 500 KB
- Screenshots with lots of text can look sharper as PNG. Try both and keep the one that reads better.
- For websites, also try Convert to WebP, which is often smaller still.
- Many photos at once? Use Bulk compress to bring up to 50 under the same limit.
