About this tool
Use 500 KB for blog and website images, product photos and forms with a half-megabyte limit.
Most photos keep their full resolution or close to it at 500 KB, with no visible loss on screens.
If your photo is already under 500 KB, it is saved again at high quality and stays under the limit.
Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Everything happens inside your browser, on your own device. Your files are never sent anywhere, and the tool keeps working even if you go offline after the page has loaded.
Will the file be exactly 500 KB?
It will be just under 500 KB. Upload forms reject files that are even 1 byte over, so the tool always stays below the limit.
Does it work with iPhone photos?
Yes. HEIC photos from an iPhone are converted and compressed in one step.
Is it free?
Yes, completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.
