What fits under 100 KB

At this size most everyday images keep enough detail to print on a page or read on a laptop screen. Measured with our own test files:

12 MP phone photo2.67 MB96.4 KB1090 × 817, 69%

The phone photos are the reason to use this size. The 12 MP one kept 1090 pixels across, and the shop-sign lettering in it stayed crisp. The 48 MP photo needed no special handling from you: we brought it under 16 million pixels before compressing, which keeps cheap phones from running out of memory. It took 1.1 to 1.5 seconds on our test laptop.

The screenshot is a PNG, so it had to become a JPG even though it was already under 100 KB. It kept its full 1440 × 900 and ended up at 97.0 KB. The portrait, already a small JPG, was handed back untouched.

Upright photos, no hidden location

Phones often save portrait photos sideways with a note telling viewers to rotate them. We apply that note, so our sideways test photo came out upright at 695 × 926. Saving a new JPG also drops the hidden data inside the original: we checked our outputs with exiftool, and the GPS position, camera make and model were gone.

Quick steps

  1. Add your image; 100 KB is selected.
  2. Press Compress Image. Big photos take one to three seconds.
  3. Download the JPG and check it in the preview first.

How it works

Step 1

Choose an image

Up to 25 MB, including 48 MP phone photos: we resize those safely before compressing.

Step 2

Sharp text where it counts

A 1440 × 900 screenshot fitted without losing a single pixel, at 66% quality.

Step 3

Save the result

Small files that are already under 100 KB come back untouched if they're JPGs, so you don't lose any quality.
