What to check
- File size
- 500 KB requested maximum
- Dimensions
- Original dimensions or your own setting
- Format
- JPG / PNG / WebP
Actual size and quality depend on your image. Settings do not certify acceptance by another service.
How to use this guidance
- 01
Choose your original
Select an image and keep a copy. Animated GIF input produces a still image.
- 02
Set a maximum and dimensions
Enter the destination’s requirements. Custom dimensions remain fixed even when a very small cap cannot be reached.
- 03
Inspect the output
Check actual bytes, pixels and readability. A preset does not guarantee third-party acceptance.
This page starts with a 500 KB maximum. Larger file budgets can preserve more detail, but output depends on the source. Check the preview instead of assuming all inputs behave alike.
The encoder adjusts quality toward your requested cap. The result can be below the target rather than equal to it. Custom dimensions stay fixed; inspect any above-limit warning before using the output.
Common questions
Does a target guarantee an exact file size?
No. The target is a requested maximum. Inspect the actual bytes, dimensions and visual quality; a very small target can remain unmet.
Will compression keep every detail?
JPEG and WebP can lose detail. PNG uses lossless encoding, but resizing changes pixels. Keep your original and compare the preview.
Does this tool set print DPI metadata?
DPI converts centimeters or inches to pixels. This browser export does not write your chosen print-DPI tag. Check pixel dimensions and use print software for physical print settings.
