How to Compress an Image to 500KB
Job portals, visa and exam applications, and many web forms cap photo uploads at 500KB. Upload your image and the tool searches for the highest quality setting whose file size stays at or below 500KB. If even the lowest quality is too large, it reduces the pixel dimensions step by step until the file fits. Images already under 500KB are returned untouched.
