STEP BY STEP

How to compress an image to a specific size

Exam, job and government application portals often limit uploads to a few kilobytes. Pick a target of 20, 50, 100 or 200 KB, or type your own, and ToolSaathi tries a range of quality settings to fit under it, shrinking the dimensions too if you allow it. If the target cannot be met, you get an explanation instead of a file that will be rejected.

Read the guide: Get your photo ready for a 50 KB limit
  1. Choose the JPG, PNG or WebP photo you want to make smaller.

  2. Pick a target size such as 50 KB, or type your own limit.

  3. Allow smaller dimensions if the target is very small for the photo.

  4. Compress, check the preview and file size, then download.

A LITTLE GUIDANCE

Getting the best result

Choose a target such as 20, 50, 100 or 200 KB. ToolSaathi tries a bounded set of quality settings. Enable smaller dimensions if the target needs a smaller image.

Good to know

1 KB means 1,000 bytes. A target is an upper limit, not an exact padded size. If the target cannot be met at your chosen settings, you will see an explanation instead of a misleading download.

Quick answers before you start.

How do I reduce a photo to under 50 KB?+

Choose the photo, select the 50 KB preset and compress. The result stays at or under the target. If a portal rejects a file right at the limit, try 48 KB.

Why is the compressed file smaller than my target?+

The target is an upper limit, not an exact size, and the file is never padded to reach it. 1 KB is counted as 1,000 bytes.

Is Compress image free?+

Yes. It is completely free, with no signup, no subscription and no watermark on your files.

Are my files uploaded to a server?+

No. Compress image works inside your browser, so your file never leaves your device and is not stored anywhere.
