Resize a photo to 500 KB

Pick your photo, crop it, and download a JPG that is 500 KB or less, at the exact width and height your form asks for. The tool tries quality levels until the file is as good as it can be without going over 500 KB.

Runs on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

Tips for 500 KB

500 KB leaves room for a large, sharp photo. Most of the time the limit isn’t the problem; the pixel size is.
Check whether your form wants a fixed pixel size or just a maximum file size.
If the form only sets a maximum, a 600 × 600 px or 35 × 45 mm photo is a safe choice.

How to use it

1Enter the width and height your form asks for (pixels, or mm/cm/inch with DPI), or tap a common size.
2Set the maximum KB from the form, and a minimum if it has one.
3Choose your photo. Drag to place your face in the guide; pinch or use + and − to zoom.
4Check the result line, then press Download. The file is the exact size and never over the limit.

Questions

Will the file be exactly 500 KB?

It will be at or under 500 KB, as close to it as the image allows. We count 500 KB as 500,000 bytes, which passes whether the form counts a KB as 1,000 or 1,024 bytes.

My photo is still too big at 500 KB. What can I do?

Lower the pixel size or crop tighter. If the form gives a pixel size, use exactly that; extra pixels only cost bytes.

Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. The resizing runs in your browser on your phone or computer. Your photo never leaves your device, and nothing is saved.
