Compress an image to under 100 KB
100 KB is the limit many application forms, government portals and profile uploads set. Drop your photo in and get the best-looking JPG that fits under it, made in your browser.
Saved as JPG, without the location and camera details.
Getting a photo under 100 KB
A phone photo is usually a few megabytes, so 100 KB means giving up most of its pixels rather than most of its quality. The page keeps as many pixels as the size allows at a quality that still looks clean, and shows the dimensions it settled on.
If the form also asks for a size in pixels, such as 600 by 600, choose the nearest Longest side first. The whole 100 KB then goes on the pixels the form will actually show.
FAQ
Who asks for photos under 100 KB?
Mostly forms: job and exam applications, visa and ID portals, and school or company profile pages. They want a photo that is clear on screen without filling their storage.
What does a phone photo look like at 100 KB?
Fine on a screen. A full-size phone photo usually has to lose some pixels to get there, which the page does for you, and a portrait or ID photo keeps plenty of detail. Compare it with the original before you upload.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Every image is compressed inside your browser, and nothing about it, not even its name, is sent anywhere.
Converting whole folders on a Mac?
Image Converter turns whole folders of photos into JPG, PNG or HEIC at the quality you choose, and lets you decide whether the camera details and location travel with the copies. It does not aim for a file size; for that, this page is the tool.
