Compress any image to 500 KB for free in your browser. 500 KB keeps high quality for large, detailed photos — portfolios, full-width hero images, and high-resolution uploads — while still cutting file size significantly. Upload a JPEG, PNG, or WebP and download instantly.
500 KB is a generous target for high-quality web photography, portfolio images, and full-width hero banners where detail matters. It is also a common upper limit for image uploads on forums, marketplaces, and content platforms.
Drag and drop or click to select a JPEG, PNG, or WebP image from your device.
The tool automatically compresses your image to 500 KB or less. No settings needed.
Use the starting-quality slider to push as close to the limit as possible for the best quality, then re-compress.
Click download to save the compressed image, ready to upload anywhere.
Upload your image and the tool targets 500 KB, returning a file at or below that size. At 500 KB most photos keep excellent quality even at large dimensions.
Large, high-quality web photos, portfolio and hero images, and uploads to platforms that allow up to 500 KB or 1 MB.
Yes. 500 KB is enough for high-resolution photos to remain crisp. You will get meaningful file-size savings with no visible quality loss in most cases.
No. All compression is done locally in your browser, so your images stay private.
