The uploaded file format is already matching the requested conversion format. Compression will still apply.
WebP compression preserves alpha transparency channel presets. Converting transparent PNGs to JPEGs will discard transparency backgrounds.

How to use Compress Image to 500KB
Try to reduce a JPG, PNG, or WebP image toward a 500KB target and review the achieved size.

- Target
- 500 KB
- Output formats
- JPG, PNG, WebP
Example workflow
- Input Sample
- A photo larger than 500 KB
- Generated Result
- A new image compressed toward 500 KB; the displayed achieved size is the value to check.
Limits and Considerations
- An exact target size is not guaranteed. Detailed images may need smaller dimensions or a different format.
- JPG and WebP can lose detail. PNG quality settings do not behave like lossy JPEG quality settings.
