Half a megabyte is plenty
Marketplace listings, rental applications, CMS uploads and forum attachments often draw the line at 500KB — a cap that feels arbitrary when your phone shoots 4–6MB, but is actually generous: at 500KB, a photo keeps essentially all of its visible sharpness.
This tool finds the best quality that fits the budget and shows you the exact output size per photo. Batch a whole listing's worth of photos in one go and download them as a ZIP — no daily limits, because it all runs on your device.
How to use it
- Add one or more photos — the 500KB target is preset (adjust it if your form says otherwise).
- Click Compress to 500 KB.
- Download each image, or all of them as a ZIP.
Frequently asked questions
Will 500KB visibly change my photo?
Practically never — most photos land at near-original sharpness. The exact output size is shown next to every image so you can judge.
Can I do a whole batch at once?
Yes — add as many photos as you like and download everything as one ZIP. No daily limits.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser — your ID photo never touches a server.
