Free and private: your photo is compressed in your browser and never uploaded. Works for photos, signatures and scanned documents.
FAQ
- How do I reduce a photo to 500 KB?
- Choose your photo above, keep the target at 500 KB and select "Make file". The tool lowers JPEG quality first and only shrinks the pixel size if that is not enough, then shows the final size before you download.
- Is my photo uploaded?
- No. Resizing happens entirely in your browser; the file never leaves your device.
- How do I make a 500 KB passport size photo?
- Crop your photo to the passport size first (an exam resizer or a country page on this site crops to the exact size), then resize it here to 500 KB. Forms usually also set a minimum size and pixel dimensions, so check the notification.
- Why is my file a little under 500 KB?
- Portals reject files even slightly over the limit, so the tool aims just below 500 KB (1 KB = 1024 bytes).
- Can I also set a width and height?
- You can set a maximum width/height in pixels. For forms that need exact pixel sizes, use an exam resizer or a document page, which crop to the exact size.

Form asks for a white background and yours isn't? Our sister app changebg.app makes it white. Check the form's rules first: passport and visa photos must not have an edited background.
