Questions
Can I compress a PNG?
Yes. The result is a JPEG, so transparency becomes a flat background.
Does it upload the photo?
No. Encoding happens in this browser.
Why is there a minimum and a maximum?
Some forms reject a file that is too small as well as one that is too large.
Will there be a watermark?
No.
About this tool
Compress an image to a file size
Set the smallest and largest KB you can accept. The tool searches for a JPEG inside that window instead of guessing a quality slider.
A window, not one magic number
Portals count kilobytes as 1,000 or 1,024 bytes. Aiming at a single number often misses. A window such as 20–200 KB is what most photo uploads actually check.
What changes
The download is a JPEG. A PNG with transparency is flattened. The long side is reduced only as far as the size requires.
When to use a fixed tool instead
If a notice says 20 KB or 50 KB exactly, use the matching page so the window is already filled in. This page is the general one.
