Compress photos to 500KB
Target: 500KB
Pixfit's compressor re-encodes your JPG / PNG photo so the final file lands within ±1KB of 500KB. Everything runs in your browser — no upload, no account.
How to compress a photo to 500KB
Four steps, all in your browser. Average run takes under five seconds for a 12MP photo.

Upload your photo
Drop a JPG, PNG, or HEIC photo into Pixfit Studio. The file never leaves your device.

Download the result
Click Export to save the 500KB-compressed photo as a JPG. The original stays untouched.
Frequently asked questions about 500KB compression
Will compressing to 500KB ruin the photo quality?
Pixfit picks the highest JPG quality that fits within 500KB and only resamples the pixels when quality alone can't shrink the file enough. For most portrait photos a 500KB target is visually indistinguishable from a 2MB original.
How close does the output get to 500KB?
Pixfit binary-searches the JPG quality until the result lands within ±1KB of 500KB. If you need an exact-window target (for example 50–500KB), use Studio's Export tab and set both min and max.
Does the 500KB compressor support PNG?
Yes — Pixfit decodes PNG, JPG, and HEIC inputs. The output is always a re-encoded JPG, since PNG can't hit 500KB for photographic content without unacceptable quality loss.
Can I batch-compress multiple photos to 500KB?
Studio is single-photo by design. For a batch run, drop each photo in one after another — the 500KB preset stays applied across the session.
Override the preset, add a min-size floor, or batch multiple photos.
