Frequently asked questions

Will the photo still look good?

The tool keeps the highest quality that fits under 500 KB. If that is not enough, it also reduces the width and height, and shows the new size next to the result.

Does 500 KB mean 500,000 or 512,000 bytes?

Sites count it differently, so the file is kept under 500,000 bytes, which is under the limit either way.

I need a different limit.

Use Compress Image and type any size in Target size (KB).

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Everything happens inside your browser, so your files never leave your device and nothing is stored on a server.
