Compress Image to 100KB
A 100KB photo looks identical to the original in most feeds, and it sails through attachment limits. Get there in one drop.
100KB is the sweet spot for a photo that needs to look sharp in a resume, a profile thumbnail or an email attachment. Phone cameras produce 3–8MB files because they keep detail nobody sees at display size — most of that weight is invisible.
This page targets 100KB. You keep full pixel dimensions, and the tool lowers JPEG/WebP quality only as far as needed. If your source is a screenshot or a graphic with text, try WebP first: it usually keeps text edges cleaner at the same size.
How it works
- Drop your image. Drag a JPG, PNG or WebP onto the drop zone, or click to choose a file.
- Keep the target. The page is pre-set to the size you need; change it if the portal asks for something else.
- Download and upload. The tool shows the new size next to the original. Download the file and upload it to the portal.
Why the 100KB limit exists
The number comes from resumes, profiles and email attachments. Upload forms set a hard ceiling to keep their storage and bandwidth predictable, and once a limit is written into a form it tends to survive for years. Knowing that, the useful move is not to fight the limit but to hit it while keeping the image readable — which is exactly what a target-size encoder does.
Questions
Is 100KB enough for a resume photo?
Yes. At 100KB a portrait still renders cleanly on screen and in print. Recruiters view resumes digitally in almost all cases.
JPG or WebP for 100KB?
WebP gives roughly 25–35% smaller files at comparable quality and is supported by every current browser. Use JPG only if a portal explicitly requires it.
Can I keep the original dimensions?
Yes. The default keeps width and height; the tool reduces quality first and only shrinks the image if it cannot reach 100KB otherwise.
What happens to EXIF data?
It is stripped during re-encoding. That is usually desirable — phone photos carry GPS coordinates you may not want to share.
