Compress image to 100KB

Use a target size and export WebP/JPG without uploading files.

Open compressor (100KB target) →Compression basics
TL;DR
  • Size: 100KB target (best-effort, may require downscaling).
  • Ratio: keep original ratio to avoid distortion.
  • Format: WebP for smallest files, JPG for compatibility.
3 steps (using this tool)
  1. Upload your image(s) and set Target size (KB) to 100.
  2. Pick WebP or JPG and adjust max width/height if needed.
  3. Compress and download, then verify file size.
Step-by-step
  1. Upload your image(s).
  2. Set “Target size (KB)” to 100.
  3. Choose WebP (recommended) or JPG.
  4. Click Compress, then download (or Download zip).
If it can’t reach 100KB
  • Lower max width/height (downscale).
  • Use WebP instead of JPG for photos.
  • Reduce max quality (e.g. 80%).

FAQ

Can you guarantee exactly 100KB?

Not always. 100KB is a best-effort target—some images need downscaling or format changes to reach it cleanly. Quick tip: If quality collapses, keep quality higher and reduce dimensions instead. Common mistake: Forcing extremely low quality—results become blocky and unusable.

What format should I use to hit 100KB?

Try WebP first for photos; otherwise use JPG. PNG is the hardest to shrink under 100KB. Quick tip: If a platform doesn’t accept WebP, export JPG and downscale slightly. Common mistake: Trying to hit 100KB with PNG screenshots—lossless files resist shrinking.

What should I change first: quality or dimensions?

Lower quality first for photos; if still too big, downscale dimensions for a major reduction. Quick tip: Small downscales often save more than big quality drops. Common mistake: Keeping huge dimensions and lowering quality too far—poor clarity with limited gains.

How do I keep text sharp under 100KB?

Use high contrast, larger fonts, and avoid ultra-low quality settings. Quick tip: Prefer slightly smaller dimensions over aggressive compression. Common mistake: Using tiny fonts—compression makes thin strokes disappear.

Do you upload my images?

No. Processing happens locally in your browser. Your files are not uploaded.

What size should I use?

Use the recommended size.

Which export format should I use?

JPG for photos, PNG for text/logos or transparency, WebP for smaller files (if supported).

Crop vs Pad — what is the difference?

Crop fills the target size (may cut edges). Pad fits the whole image and adds background/space.

How do I protect text and logos?

Keep important content centered and avoid placing critical text at the edges.

Can I batch resize?

Yes. Use the Batch Resizer to apply the same size to many images.
