Small photos and scans usually fit at good quality. A full-size phone photo goes down to the tool’s lowest quality setting and is then made smaller, so expect it to look soft up close.

What to expect

100KB is where compression stops being a compromise for most everyday images. A photo at roughly 1000-1200 pixels on the long edge fits inside it while still looking clean at full screen on a phone and perfectly acceptable on a laptop, which covers the large majority of what images are actually used for.

It is also the size band that suits messaging and email best. Attachments send quickly, inboxes with size caps accept them, and the recipient does not wait on a download. Where a 4MB original would be re-compressed by the service anyway, arriving at 100KB yourself means you chose the trade-off rather than inheriting someone else's.

If you are working towards a specific form limit rather than general use, pick the target that matches it rather than this one. Coming in under a 200KB cap with a 100KB file costs you quality you were allowed to keep.

How it works

How to Compress Image to 100KB

Upload or paste your JPG
Drop a JPG file from your device, or paste a public URL pointing to the JPG.
Click Compress Image to 100KB
Our cloud workers fetch the file, scan it for malware (video and audio over 1 GB are not scanned), and run Compress Image to 100KB.
Download your file
A download link appears as soon as it is ready; it works for anyone who has it until the file is deleted. The file is deleted from our storage two hours after it was made (longer for very large files or with a pass), normally within the next 15 minutes.
