How do I compress an image to under 500KB?
Upload your image and adjust the quality slider. For 500KB target, start around 78% quality. JPEG format achieves the smallest sizes. Larger images may need resizing first.
Will my image look good at 500KB?
At 78% quality, most images retain good visual clarity. The compression is barely noticeable at this quality level.
What format gives the smallest file size?
JPEG is smallest for photos. WebP is 25-35% smaller than JPEG at equal quality. PNG is best for graphics but produces larger files. Choose JPEG or WebP for maximum compression.
