Compress Image to 500KB
500KB is a file-size target, not a pixel dimension — useful when a form's limit is more generous than the common 100–200KB caps. This tool searches for the highest quality JPEG or WEBP that stays at or under 500KB.
This compresses an image — it doesn't check passport/visa compliance. Use Passport Photo or Visa Photo for an actual requirements check.

Frequently asked questions
The compressor searches for the highest quality that stays at or under your target. Most photos land very close to it, but very small targets on a large or highly detailed photo may not be reachable — if so, this tool tells you honestly instead of promising a size it can't deliver.
Compressing to a smaller file size reduces JPEG/WEBP quality, which can introduce visible artifacts at low percentages. The result shows you the exact quality percentage used, so you can judge whether it still looks acceptable.
No. Compression happens locally in your browser — your image is never uploaded.
