Compress an image
Choose a photo and download a smaller copy. It starts at 200 KB; pick 100 KB, 500 KB or 1 MB if your form asks for another limit.

What Image Compressor can do
How target-size compression works
For a target like 200 KB the tool searches between 95% and 40% quality for the highest one that fits just under it. If 40% is still too big, it narrows the photo step by step (2560, 2048, 1600 px and on down to 640 px), and the result line shows the new width.
When a smaller file helps
Upload forms, application portals, and email attachments often reject large photos. A phone photo is usually 2–6 MB; compressing it to a few hundred kilobytes usually keeps it looking fine on screen while passing the limit.
JPG and WebP. What about PNG?
A target size needs a format with a quality setting, so the result is saved as JPG or WebP; a PNG comes out as JPG unless you pick WebP. JPG has no transparency, so a logo or cut-out gets a white background. Pick WebP to keep it transparent, in browsers that can save WebP (Safari and iPhones cannot).

Questions
Will my photo lose quality?
Some detail is traded for size. That is what compression does. The tool keeps the highest quality that still fits your limit, and your original file stays untouched on your device.
Can I hit an exact size like 200 KB?
It lands just under the target, usually within 5%. A KB here is 1,000 bytes, the way upload forms count, so the file passes the limit either way. If even 640 px wide at 40% quality is too big, you get the smallest file it could make and a note saying so.
Does it work with iPhone (HEIC) photos?
Yes. The photo is decoded in your browser (browsers that cannot read HEIC download a decoder once) and saved as JPG, which almost every upload form accepts.
