Compressing to 500 KB
A phone photo of 3 to 5 MB usually fits in 500 KB with no visible change, which makes it quicker to email and to load on a website.
At this size quality is lowered only slightly, and most photos keep their full size in pixels.
Frequently asked questions
Will a 500 KB photo still print well?
For everyday prints, usually yes. For large prints, keep the original file.
How do I reduce a photo from MB to KB?
Drop the photo in and pick a target like 100 KB or 50 KB. Quality is lowered first; if that isn't enough, the photo is made smaller in pixels until it fits.
Can I compress an image without losing quality?
At the default setting the difference isn't visible on screen. Very small targets like 20 KB do lower the quality, so check the before and after view.
Which formats can I compress?
JPG, PNG and WebP are saved in the same format. AVIF, GIF and BMP files are read too and saved as JPG or PNG.
