Compress Image to Exact Size
Shrink a photo to a target file size like 20 KB, 100 KB or 1 MB.
About the Compress Image to Exact Size
Exam applications, job portals and government forms often demand a photo under a specific size. Enter the target — 20 KB, 50 KB, 100 KB, whatever the form says — and the tool searches for the highest quality that fits, shrinking the dimensions only if it has to.
The result downloads automatically and the summary tells you the exact quality and dimensions used.
Frequently asked questions
What if it cannot reach the target?
Allow dimension shrinking, or switch the output to WebP, which is typically 25–35% smaller than JPEG at the same visual quality.
Will the photo still be accepted?
Check the form's minimum dimensions too — some portals demand a minimum width as well as a maximum file size.
