Compress image under 500KB
Make large images easier to upload, email, or publish by reducing dimensions, changing format, and exporting a lighter file locally in your browser.
How to reach a 500KB target
Start by choosing WebP for most website images or JPG for broad compatibility. If the file is still too large, reduce the pixel dimensions. A smaller image at good quality often looks better than a huge image with harsh compression.
For product photos, blog images, and hero images, think about where the image will appear. A thumbnail does not need the same dimensions as a full-width banner.
Steps
1. Add imageUpload JPG, PNG, or WebP into the browser workspace.
2. Estimate sizeChoose WebP or JPG and check the estimated output size.
3. ExportDownload the compressed image with metadata removed.
Privacy note
Images can contain private locations, client designs, or unpublished work. PDFTechnician handles the compression in your browser instead of uploading the image first.
