Photo Compressor

Drag & drop your photo here

or click to browse · JPEG, PNG, WEBP supported

Photos above the target are compressed (quality first, then dimensions). Photos already under the target are enhanced — sharpened and re-rendered at higher quality to use the remaining size budget.
Compressing…
How It Works
Three steps, entirely inside your browser
01

Upload Your Photo

Drag and drop, or click to browse and select any JPEG, PNG or WEBP photo from your device.

02

Automatic Compression

The tool lowers JPEG quality step by step; if that alone can't reach the target, it also scales down the dimensions slightly.

03

Download

Once the file is under your target size, preview it side-by-side with the original and download it in one click.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about compressing photos to 100 KB
How can I compress a photo to under 100 KB for free?
Upload your JPEG or PNG photo to this tool. It automatically lowers the JPEG quality first, and if the file is still above 100 KB, it reduces the pixel dimensions in small steps until the output is under 100 KB. Then click Download to save the compressed file.
Does compressing to 100 KB reduce image quality?
Some quality loss is unavoidable when shrinking file size, but the tool prioritises lowering JPEG quality before touching dimensions, so most photos stay sharp and clear at 100 KB — enough for most government form and web upload requirements.
Is my photo uploaded to a server when I use this tool?
No. All compression happens locally in your browser using the HTML canvas API. Your photo is never uploaded, stored, or sent anywhere.
What image formats does this compressor support?
You can upload JPEG, PNG, or WEBP images. The compressed output is always downloaded as a JPEG file, since JPEG compresses photographs far more efficiently than PNG.
Can I choose a target size other than 100 KB?
Yes. Use the "Target file size" dropdown above the upload box to pick 50 KB, 100 KB, 150 KB or 200 KB before or after uploading your photo.
