Compress an image to under 500KB

Set a 500KB target and hit it automatically without guessing at quality — free, private, and on-device.

Plenty of upload forms and websites want images under 500KB for faster loading. Rather than repeatedly re-exporting, set the target to 500KB and let the compressor find the right quality to fit — automatically.

It handles JPG, PNG and WEBP, works on batches, and processes everything in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
