How to compress an image to a file size
Use this when a form rejects a photo for being too large. You set the target in KB. This is different from Resize image, which changes dimensions without aiming at a file size.
- Open Compress image Add one JPG, PNG, or WebP.
- Set the target Enter a size between 10 and 10000 KB. 200 KB is a common starting point for a form upload.
- Compress Quality is lowered first. Dimensions shrink only if the file is still over the target.
- Read the result The page says whether the JPG landed within the target. If it could not, it shows the smallest result it reached.
The download is a JPG. Transparent pixels are placed on white. A file that is already under the target can be kept at high quality instead of being crushed.
