How to compress an image to 100KB
Drop your image and set the target

The tool searches for the quality that lands near your target, then you download — nothing is uploaded at any point.
Why compress to 100KB?
Many forms, job portals, government sites and email limits cap uploads at a small size like 100 KB. Compressing to that target keeps your image acceptable while staying as sharp as possible. Smaller images also load faster on websites, which helps Core Web Vitals.
If your photo is also much larger in dimensions than it needs to be, resize it first and then compress — that combination reaches a small target with the least quality loss.
How target-size compression works (honestly)
To hit a target like 100 KB, the compressor lowers the JPG/WebP quality (and you can also reduce the dimensions) until the file is at or under the size you asked for. Very small targets on a large, detailed photo will visibly reduce quality — that is a physical trade-off, not a flaw. JPG and WebP compress far smaller than PNG for photos, so prefer those for a 100 KB target. Everything is computed locally; your image never leaves your device.
Frequently asked questions
How do I compress an image to exactly 100KB?
Use the Image Compressor's Target size mode and enter 100 KB. It reduces quality (and optionally dimensions) until the file is at or just under your target.
Will compressing to 100KB lower the quality?
Usually a little, and on a large detailed photo it can be visible — that is the trade-off of a small target. Resizing the dimensions first and using JPG or WebP keeps it looking as good as possible.
Which formats can I compress to 100KB?
JPG, PNG and WebP. For a small target like 100 KB, JPG or WebP work best because they compress photos far smaller than PNG.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The compression runs entirely in your browser. Your image is never uploaded, and there is no sign-up.
