Resize image to 500 KB

This page opens the image resizer with a 500 KB target already set. Add your photos, keep the JPG format or switch to WebP, and download — it all runs in your browser. 500 KB keeps most of a photo's detail while still making a typical phone photo much smaller.

How to use the image resizer & compressor

  1. Open this page. The image resizer opens with a 500 KB target size already set.
  2. Add your photos. Drop or select the JPG, PNG or WebP photos you want to shrink toward 500 KB.
  3. Check the format. JPG is preselected for small files. WebP is smaller where supported; PNG keeps transparency.
  4. Resize. Tap Resize — each photo is compressed toward 500 KB, lowering the resolution only if it must.
  5. Download the results. Save the finished photos one by one or all at once.
