How to Compress a Photo Online

Modern phones shoot photos of 5–15 MB, and almost nowhere is that size actually needed: email attachments bounce, upload forms reject the file, a chat takes minutes to send it. This tool reduces the file size while keeping the picture usable — either by a compression level you pick, or down to an exact size in kilobytes.

How It Works

  1. Upload a JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC photo — up to 50 MB.
  2. Pick a compression level — strong, medium or minimal — each card shows the estimated result size. Optionally reduce the width and choose WebP or JPG.
  3. Tap Compress photo — the result appears below in a few seconds with the before and after sizes.
  4. Download the compressed WebP file.

Compress Photo to 100 KB

Pick the Strong level and, for large photos, reduce the width by 50% — the card shows the estimated size before you start, and the result card shows the actual one. A typical smartphone photo lands around 100 KB with these settings, and WebP output makes the file even smaller.

Compress a Photo for Government Portals

Government and municipal portals usually limit the uploaded photo or document scan to a few hundred kilobytes and often accept JPG only. Take a photo of the document, upload it here, pick the Strong level, choose the JPG format and reduce the width if the form demands a very small file. The text stays readable because compression is applied evenly rather than in one aggressive step.

What Changes When a Photo Is Compressed

Output format is WebP

WebP is 25-35% smaller than JPG at the same visual quality and is supported by every modern browser and messenger. Transparent areas of PNG images are placed on a white background.

Resolution is kept when possible

The picture is compressed by the codec at the level you pick; the width is reduced only if you choose it yourself.

Orientation is fixed

Photos shot vertically on a phone are rotated to the correct orientation, so the result never comes out lying on its side.

No watermarks

Nothing is added to the picture — you get a clean file ready for a form, a message or an archive.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I compress a photo to 100 KB?

Upload the photo, pick the Strong level and reduce the width by 50% for large photos — the card shows the estimated size before you start, and the result card shows the actual one.

Will the photo lose quality?

Compression is lossy, but the tool always picks the highest quality that fits your limit. With light and medium levels the difference is usually invisible on a screen.

Which formats can I upload?

JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC photos up to 50 MB. The result is saved as WebP or JPG — your choice.

How do I make the file even smaller?

Combine the Strong level with width reduction and the WebP format — halving the width alone cuts the file size roughly four times.

Is it free?

Compression costs just a few energy points, and new users get energy for free — no subscription and no registration form to fill in.
