500KB limit
Compress an image to 500KB.
The checker below starts with a 500KB limit. Add your image, see how far over it is, and fix it in one step. The finished file is measured again before you download.
No account. Your file is read on your device and never sent to us.
The 500 KB limit is preselected. You can switch to KB or MB at any time.
Why 500KB comes up so often
500KB is about half a megabyte. It is a frequent cap for profile pictures, property listings and document scans, because it leaves enough detail to be useful.
Phone photos are typically 3 MB to 12 MB, so even a comfortable cap like this one usually needs the file reduced.
How Filnixa gets there
It compresses in steps and keeps the highest quality version that stays under 500KB, then checks the real output size.
Converting a heavy PNG photo to JPG at the same time often makes the difference on its own. Choose the format your form requires and Filnixa handles both changes together.
