Learn the easiest way to reduce a photo's file size to any number of KB — set your target and download, all in your browser with no uploads.

Reduce to an exact KB, not a rough guess

Most photo editors let you lower quality with a slider, but they don't tell you the final file size until you export. When a form demands a specific number of KB, that guessing game is frustrating. A size-targeting tool flips it around: you name the KB you need and it does the math.

How the size reduction works

The tool first lowers the JPEG quality using a smart search to find the highest quality that stays under your target. If even the lowest quality is still too big for a very small target, it also reduces the pixel dimensions until the file fits. This two-step approach means you always get a usable result.

There are no limits and no sign-up. Reduce as many images as you like, free forever.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between KB and dimensions?

KB is the file size (how much storage it takes). Dimensions are the width and height in pixels. This tool targets KB, and only changes dimensions when needed to reach a very small size.

Can I reduce a photo to under 10KB?

Yes, though very small targets on large photos will also reduce the dimensions. For tiny targets, crop the photo first.

Is my image safe?

Completely. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded anywhere.
