Frequently Asked Questions

How do I reduce a photo to 100 KB?

Upload the image and click Resize — the tool automatically finds the highest JPEG quality that keeps the file at or under 100 KB. Most photos look essentially unchanged at this size.

When is a 100 KB image needed?

Document upload portals, contact forms with attachment limits, website images that need to load fast, and email systems with strict attachment quotas all commonly call for images around 100 KB.

Does compressing to 100 KB reduce the resolution?

No — by default the pixel dimensions stay the same and only the JPEG compression increases. Untick “keep original dimensions” if you also want a smaller resolution, which further improves quality per kilobyte.

Is 100 KB enough for a printed photo?

For screen use, comfortably. For print it is tight — printing wants far more pixels than 100 KB of JPEG can carry at photographic quality. Use 100 KB for uploads and email, not for anything you intend to print at size.

What is the difference between crop, fit and stretch?

Crop fills the target dimensions and trims the overflow, keeping proportions correct — the usual choice. Fit adds a white border so nothing is lost. Stretch forces the image to the exact shape and will distort faces, so avoid it for photographs.

Will converting a PNG screenshot to 100 KB blur the text?

Some. JPEG is built for photographs and softens sharp edges such as text. If the screenshot must stay crisp, reduce its dimensions instead, or keep it as a PNG where the form allows one.
