Reduce image size in KB
Upload forms rarely tell you how to get there, only that the photo must be under so many KB. Choose the limit, drop the photo and download a copy that fits, at the best quality possible. Nothing leaves your device.

Reduce image size in KB: questions
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The file is read by your browser and processed on your device; nothing is uploaded to a server, so there is nothing for us to keep.
What is the difference between KB and MB?
1 MB is 1024 KB. A typical phone photo is 2 to 5 MB, so a 100 KB limit means making it 20 to 50 times smaller.
Why is my file still slightly too big for the website?
Some sites count 1 KB as 1000 bytes rather than 1024. If a file is rejected, set a limit a few KB lower than the site asks for.
