How the 500 KB limit is reached
PhotoReducer tries different quality levels and keeps the best one whose file stays under 500 KB. Most photos reach this limit through compression alone, keeping their original dimensions.
Who asks for 500 KB files?
Keeping photos under 500 KB makes email attachments and shared albums fast without a visible quality hit. It is also a common limit in content managers and support forms.
Frequently asked questions
Will the image still look good at 500 KB?
At this size the difference from the original is usually invisible on screen — most photos keep their full dimensions.
Does it change the format of my file?
The output is JPG by default — the format virtually every form accepts — and you can switch to WebP. JPG, PNG, WebP and AVIF are accepted as input.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser with WebAssembly — your image never leaves your device, which makes this safe even for ID photos and documents.
