Compress Image to KB
Need to compress image to KB size for a job application, admission form or portal that rejects big files? Choose your photo, set the target size in KB, and this tool recompresses it on your own device until it fits.
🔒 Your files never leave your device.
How to use
- Choose the image from your phone or computer.
- Type the target size in KB — for example 200, the limit on many Pakistani online forms.
- Press Compress and download the smaller JPG when it is ready.
How it works
The tool first lowers the JPEG quality step by step; if the target is still not reached, it gradually reduces the image dimensions as well. Everything runs in your browser with the Canvas API — the image is never uploaded to any server.
Worked example: Example: a 3 MB phone photo usually compresses to under 200 KB at good readable quality, small enough for NADRA-style and university admission portals.
Frequently asked questions
Why do online forms ask for images under 200 KB or 100 KB?
Portals limit file sizes to keep uploads fast and storage small. Photos straight from a phone camera are often 2–5 MB, so they must be compressed first.
Will compressing reduce my photo quality?
A little, but at typical form sizes (200 KB) the result stays clear. Documents and ID photos remain readable; very small targets like 20 KB will look softer.
Is my image uploaded to your server?
No. Compression happens inside your browser on your device. Your files never leave your device.
Which formats can I compress?
Any image your browser can open — JPG, PNG, WebP and most phone formats. The output is always a JPG, which gives the smallest size.
