About the 500KB image

500KB suits forms and platforms that accept higher-quality attachments, such as CV portals, support tickets and detailed document scans.

How to compress an image to 500KB

  1. Select your image. JPG, PNG, WebP and iPhone HEIC all work, and you can pick several at once.
  2. Check the size. The box is already set to 500. Change the number if your form says something different.
  3. Press the green button and download a JPG under 500 KB, or one ZIP for many files.

Compress mode keeps the best quality that still fits under your limit.

500KB image FAQ

Is 500KB big enough for printing?

For small prints such as 4 by 6 inches, yes. For large prints keep the original.

Does it keep camera and location data?

No. Re-saved JPGs drop EXIF metadata, which also removes GPS location.

Is 500KB the same as 0.5MB?

Roughly. 0.5MB is 512KB, so a 500KB target leaves a small safety margin.

Is my photo uploaded when I compress it to 500 KB?

No. The 500 KB resizing runs inside your browser, so your picture never leaves your device. No signup, no watermark.
