Tips for Reaching 500 KB

Open Image CompressorFrequently Asked Questions
How do I compress an image to under 500 KB?
Upload your image to our compressor, adjust the quality slider until the output shows a file size under 500 KB, then download. You can preview the result to ensure quality is acceptable.
Will the image look blurry after compression?
Not necessarily. Modern JPEG compression at 70-80% quality produces virtually identical results to the original. Only at very low quality settings (below 40%) will you notice significant degradation.
Can I compress multiple images at once?
You can process images one at a time in our tool. Each image takes just seconds to compress and download.
