Compress Image to 500KB

500KB is a sweet spot: small enough for most upload forms, large enough to keep real photo quality. The compressor searches for the highest quality setting that stays under the limit - usually your image keeps nearly full resolution.

Frequently asked questions

Will my image lose resolution at 500KB?

Rarely. Most photos fit under 500KB at high quality without downscaling; only very large images may be scaled slightly.

JPG or WebP for 500KB?

Both work. WebP packs more quality into the same bytes; JPG is safer for older upload forms that reject WebP.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens locally in your browser; your images never leave your device.
