Compression guide

Compress an image to 100KB — or any size the form demands

Government portals, visa applications, job sites, and marketplaces love strict file-size limits: "max 100KB", "under 50KB", "up to 200KB". FitMyPic takes your target size, tests quality levels until the output lands close to it, and shows you the measured result before you download. All locally — your photo never leaves your device.

Common limits

What are you trying to fit?

20–50KBSignature and stamp photos on government and exam forms. Crop tight and resize down first — extreme targets need small dimensions too.
100KBThe classic visa and job-application limit. A resized passport photo compresses to 100KB with barely visible loss.
200–500KBMarketplace product uploads and email attachments — usually achievable with quality alone.
1MB+Website hero images. Consider WebP output for the best size-to-quality ratio.

How it works

A target size, a measured result

01

Enter your target

Type the KB limit into the target-size field and pick JPG or WebP output — the formats that compress well.

02

Quality search

FitMyPic tests quality levels until the encoded file lands close to your target — no blind trial and error.

03

Check, then download

The measured output size and live preview are shown before download. If 100KB needs a smaller crop, resize first and compress again.

Questions

Compression FAQ

Can I hit exactly 100KB?

FitMyPic tests quality levels to land as close to your target as possible and always shows the measured output size before you download. Image content affects compression, so results may be slightly above or below the target — you see the real number first.

Which format compresses best?

For photos, JPG and WebP compress far better than PNG. PNG is lossless and best for sharp graphics, text, and transparency — not for hitting small size targets on photos.

Will compressing lower my image quality?

Compression trades some fidelity for size. At moderate targets the difference is hard to see; at extreme targets (like 20KB from a large photo) quality loss becomes visible. The live preview shows exactly what you get.

Are my images uploaded?

No. Compression runs locally in your browser with the canvas API — your files are never transmitted to a server.
