🎯 Compress Image to Size
Shrink an image to an exact target size in KB — for exam forms, job portals and uploads with strict limits.
About this Compress Image to Size
Compress Image to Size solves the classic form-upload problem: the portal wants a photo under 100 KB, 200 KB or another exact limit, and your phone photo is several MB. The tool re-encodes the picture as a JPEG, lowering quality step by step — and shrinking dimensions only if quality alone is not enough — until the file fits under your target.
How to use it
- Choose the image you need to shrink.
- Enter the target size in KB (for example 100 or 200).
- Press Compress to target size and wait a moment.
- Check the final size shown, then download the compressed JPG.
Example
A 3.2 MB phone photo for an exam application with a 200 KB limit comes out at about 196 KB, ready to upload.
Frequently asked questions
Will the picture look bad?
At moderate targets the difference is barely visible. Extremely small targets force lower quality or smaller dimensions, which can soften detail.
Why does it save as JPG?
JPEG gives the finest control over file size. Transparent PNGs are flattened onto a white background.
