About compress image to 500kb

500KB keeps a high resolution photo looking close to the original, so it suits portfolios, listings and forms that accept larger images but still set a cap.

Starting from a phone photo of a few megabytes, the tool usually reaches 500KB by quality alone, at a high quality setting, so the change is hard to see.

Compare the before and after in the preview at full size. If the result is close to the original, there is no need to keep the larger file.

Compress Image to 500KB: common questions

Is 500KB good enough quality for printing?

For small prints it often is, since the pixel size is usually kept. For large prints keep the original file.

What if my photo is already under 500KB?

Then it is saved at maximum quality and will still be at or under 500KB.
