Image Resizer in KB

Some forms reject an upload by weight in kilobytes rather than by pixel size. Set the KB target and this page re-encodes the image in your browser, stepping quality and dimensions until the file lands at or below that figure — which is why the reported output size is worth reading before you submit.

Frequently Asked Questions About Image Resizer in KB

Can an image be exactly 100 KB?

Encoders work in steps, so the result lands at or just under the target rather than on the byte. Nudge the figure and run again if you need margin.

Does hitting a small KB target destroy quality?

The first cost is encoder quality rather than size, but a very tight target does lose detail. Try a slightly larger allowance first.

Will my original file be changed?

The result is downloaded as a separate file. Keep your original until you have checked the File size in KB.

What should I check before using the result?

Open the File size in KB in the application that consumes it and spot-check the parts that matter to you; the original file stays untouched if you need to re-run with different options.

About this workflow

When the limit is a form field, not a design

Portals, exam submissions and application forms often cap the upload at a small number of kilobytes. Reach the cap here and keep the full-size original.

Before downloading the result

Open the File size in KB next to the original at full size and check text edges, faces, and flat backgrounds; re-encoding softens detail long before it looks wrong in a thumbnail.
