Compress an image to 500 KB
Bring a large photo under 500 KB with as little quality loss as possible. Processed on your device, never uploaded.
KB
Nothing is uploaded.
Other online compressors send your file to their servers, process it there, and keep a copy
for some period you cannot verify. This page does the work inside your own browser, so the
file never crosses the network. You can check: open your browser's Network tab and compress
something — there is no upload request.
Why an exact kilobyte limit?
Government and exam portals in India — UPSC, SSC, banking, passport, PAN, university admission forms — reject uploads over a fixed size. That is why people search for an exact number of kilobytes rather than just "compress".
Frequently asked questions
- How do I compress an image to 500 KB?
- Choose your JPG or PNG, set the target to 500 KB, and download the result. It happens in your browser — the photo is never uploaded.
- Is my photo uploaded to a server?
- No. The compression runs inside this page using your own device's processor. The file never leaves your computer or phone, so there is nothing for us to store.
- Will the image lose quality?
- Some, unavoidably — a smaller file means less data. The tool searches for the highest quality that still fits your target, so you get the best result that meets the limit.
- Does it work on a phone?
- Yes. It runs in the mobile browser, with no app install required.
- Is it free?
- Yes, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.
