How does it hit exactly 100KB?

A binary search algorithm iterates through JPEG/WebP quality levels - up to 8 passes - to find the highest quality that keeps the output at or under 100KB.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. All processing runs in your browser using the Canvas API. Your file never leaves your device.

What if my image is already under 100KB?

The tool outputs the image at near-maximum quality since no reduction is needed.

Which formats are supported?

Upload JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP, or GIF. Output is JPEG or WebP - formats that support fine-grained quality adjustment.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. Works on iOS Safari and Android Chrome without any app installation.

💡 Pro Tips

Resize before compressing for best quality

Scaling a 3000px image to 1200px before hitting the 100KB target will preserve far more detail than compressing the full-resolution version.

WebP gives better quality at 100KB

Switch output to WebP - it achieves 25-35% better visual quality than JPEG at the same file size.

Bulk mode for batch workflows

Upload up to 50 images and compress them all to 100KB in one pass - each file is optimized independently.

PNG originals need format conversion

PNGs are lossless and often large. Converting to JPEG or WebP before targeting 100KB yields much sharper results.
