Image Compressor – Compress JPG, PNG & WebP to Exact KB
Free Image Compressor Online – Compress JPG, PNG & WebP to KB
Compress images online and reduce JPG, PNG and WebP file sizes without unnecessary quality loss. Choose a target size such as 20KB, 50KB, 100KB, 200KB or 500KB, or enter your own custom size. Your image is processed directly in your browser, so you can compress photos without uploading them to a server.
Compress Images to a Specific KB Size
Many websites, online forms, exam applications and document portals have strict image-size limits. Instead of repeatedly changing image quality and checking the file size, choose the required KB limit and let the compressor adjust the image automatically.
Popular target sizes include:
- Compress image to 20KB
- Compress image to 50KB
- Compress image to 100KB
- Compress image to 200KB
- Compress image to 500KB
- Compress image to a custom KB size
The tool is useful when an application says that your photo, signature or document image must be below a specific file-size limit.
Compress JPG, PNG and WebP Images
This image compressor supports common web image formats and lets you choose the output format based on your needs.
JPG Compressor
Compress JPG and JPEG photos to reduce file size while keeping the image suitable for websites, forms, applications and sharing.
PNG Compressor
Reduce the size of PNG images when you need a smaller file for websites, documents or online uploads.
WebP Compressor
Convert and compress images into WebP when you want a modern, web-friendly image format with a smaller file size.
Why Compress an Image?
Large image files can take longer to upload, download and display. Reducing unnecessary image weight can make files easier to share and can help keep website pages lighter.
Image compression is especially useful for:
- Website images
- Blog images
- Product photos
- Social media graphics
- Email attachments
- Online forms
- Government applications
- Exam registrations
- Job applications
- Passport and visa applications
- Documents and scanned photos
Modern image formats such as WebP can also provide smaller files than traditional image formats in many situations.
How to Compress an Image Online
Using the image compressor is simple:
- Upload or drag and drop your JPG, PNG or WebP image.
- Select the target file size.
- Choose an output format if required.
- Select the maximum image width if you want to reduce the dimensions.
- Click Compress Images.
- Compare the original and compressed file size.
- Download your compressed image.
The tool processes the image directly in your browser, so the original image does not need to be uploaded to our server.
Compress Image to 20KB
Need a very small image for an online application or form? Select 20KB as the target size and compress the image automatically.
Very small targets can require stronger compression or smaller dimensions, especially when the original photo is several megabytes in size.
Always check the specific dimensions and file-format requirements of the website where you plan to upload the image.
Compress Image to 50KB
A 50KB image limit is commonly encountered on application and registration forms. Select 50KB, upload your image and download the compressed result.
If the form also specifies dimensions, make sure the image width and height meet those requirements in addition to the file-size limit.
Compress Image to 100KB
Select 100KB when a website or application requires an image below a 100KB limit.
The compressor automatically adjusts the output to reduce the file size while attempting to retain as much visual quality as possible.
Compress Image to 200KB
For websites and forms that allow images up to 200KB, select the 200KB target. This provides more room for image quality than very small targets while still significantly reducing many large photographs.
Compress Image to 500KB
A 500KB target is useful when you want to reduce large photos for websites, CMS uploads, email and online forms without making the file extremely small.
Image Compression Without Uploading Your Photos
Privacy can matter when compressing personal photographs, identity documents, signatures or application images.
This tool processes images in your browser rather than sending the original image to our server. That means your image does not need to be permanently stored in our database or Media Library.
For sensitive documents, you should still review the privacy practices of any website or service you use.

Browser-Based Processing
Images can be processed directly on your device without sending the original file to a server.
Image Compression vs Image Resizing
Image compression and image resizing are related but different.
Compression primarily reduces the amount of data stored in the image.
Resizing changes the image dimensions, such as reducing a 4000px-wide image to 1920px.
If your file is too large because of both its dimensions and compression level, combining resizing with compression can produce a much smaller result.
Does Compressing an Image Reduce Quality?
It can.
The amount of visible quality change depends on the original image, file format, dimensions and target file size. A moderate reduction may produce little visible difference, while an extremely small target such as 20KB can require stronger compression.
For very small targets, reducing image dimensions can sometimes provide a better balance between file size and visual quality than relying only on compression quality.
What Is the Best Image Format for Compression?
There is no single best format for every image.
JPG/JPEG is commonly suitable for photographs.
PNG is useful when transparency or lossless image data is important.
WebP can provide smaller files for many web images while supporting both lossy and lossless compression.
Choose the format based on where the image will be used and what the receiving website accepts.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I compress an image online?
Upload your JPG, PNG or WebP image, select your desired target size and click the compression button. The tool processes the image in your browser and provides a compressed file for download.
Can I compress an image to exactly 20KB?
You can set 20KB as the target size. The compressor attempts to produce an output at or below the selected target. Extremely small targets may require reducing image dimensions or stronger compression.
How do I compress a JPG to 50KB?
Upload the JPG, select 50KB as the target size and compress it. Download the resulting JPG or choose another supported output format if required.
How do I compress a photo to 100KB?
Upload your photo and select 100KB from the target-size options. The tool automatically adjusts the image to reduce its file size.
Can I compress PNG images?
Yes. PNG images are supported. You can also choose another output format when appropriate for your intended use.
Can I compress WebP images?
Yes. WebP images are supported, and you can use the available output-format options to create a compressed WebP or another supported format.
Does this image compressor upload my photos?
The tool is designed to process images directly in your browser. Your original image does not need to be uploaded to our server for compression.
Is this image compressor free?
Yes. You can use the image compressor to reduce supported image files without installing desktop software or creating an account.
Can I compress multiple images at once?
Yes. The tool supports selecting multiple JPG, PNG or WebP files so you can process more than one image in a single session.
Can I reduce an image from MB to KB?
Yes. If your image is several megabytes in size, you can select a KB target such as 100KB, 200KB or 500KB and compress it.
What is the difference between image compression and resizing?
Compression reduces the amount of data used by an image, while resizing changes its pixel dimensions. Both can be used together when a file needs to be significantly smaller.
Why is my compressed image still larger than the target size?
Some images are difficult to reduce to extremely small sizes without substantial quality loss. The compressor may need to reduce image dimensions or use stronger compression to meet a very small target.
Can I compress an image for a government or exam form?
Yes. The tool can be useful when an application specifies a maximum image size such as 20KB, 50KB, 100KB or 200KB. However, always check the particular application portal for its required dimensions, format and file-size limit.
Does image compression remove EXIF data?
Images that are re-encoded during compression generally do not retain the original EXIF metadata. This can also reduce unnecessary file data.
Will compressing an image improve website speed?
Reducing image file size can reduce the amount of data a browser needs to download. This can help pages load more efficiently, especially when large images are a significant part of the page weight. Image optimization is an important part of web performance because images represent a substantial portion of web data.
Can I convert JPG to WebP while compressing it?
Yes. Select WebP as the output format and compress the image. This lets you combine format conversion with file-size reduction.
Does a smaller image always mean better quality?
No. A smaller file can require more aggressive compression and may show visible artifacts. The goal is to find a practical balance between file size, dimensions and image quality.
