Compress Image to 500 KB
Get any photo under 500 KB automatically, at the best quality that fits.
Images are usually the heaviest thing on a web page, and a 4 MB phone photo dropped into a blog post can make the page take several seconds to appear on mobile.
Under 500 KB a photo keeps enough resolution for a full-width hero image on a laptop while loading quickly — a common guideline for CMS uploads and forums with attachment limits.
If you control the site, consider WebP as the output format: at this size budget it keeps noticeably more detail than JPG.
How to use it
- Drop in the images for your post or page.
- Leave the target at 500 KB, or switch the format to WebP for extra detail.
- Download and upload them to your site.
Frequently asked questions
What pixel width should a website photo be?
Around 1600–2000 pixels covers a full-width image on most screens, including high-density laptops. Anything wider mostly adds weight.
JPG or WebP for my site?
WebP if your platform accepts it: every current browser supports it and it gives better quality per byte. JPG if you need to be sure every tool that touches the file can open it.
Does image size really affect page speed and SEO?
Yes. Large images delay the biggest element on the page from appearing, which is one of the measurements search engines use for page experience.
