How to reduce the size of an image
To reduce the size of an image, drop it on the box above. This page presets a maximum width of 1920 pixels, enough for a full-screen photo, and a quality of 75. Together they usually shrink a phone photo from several megabytes to a few hundred kilobytes. Adjust either setting, check the size shown and download. Your images are processed in your browser and never uploaded.
Two ways to reduce size
| Setting | What it changes | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum width | Number of pixels | The photo is much bigger than the screen it is shown on |
| Quality | Detail kept per pixel | You need smaller files at the same dimensions |
Sizes to aim for
| Use | Width | Typical size |
|---|---|---|
| Email attachment | 1280 px | 150-400 KB |
| Website photo | 1600-1920 px | 150-300 KB |
| Social media | 1080 px | 100-250 KB |
| Form upload with a 1 MB cap | 1920 px | under 1 MB |
Why photos are so big
A modern phone camera takes photos of 12 to 50 megapixels, so a single picture can weigh 3 to 10 MB. Email services usually limit attachments to about 20 MB, many forms accept only 1 to 5 MB, and mobile data is expensive. A photo shown on a screen 1920 pixels wide needs only a small fraction of that data, which is why resizing costs you nothing visible.
Tips
- Reduce the dimensions first: a 12-megapixel phone photo is far bigger than any screen needs.
- Keep the original and work on copies.
- For an exact target, such as under 200 KB, use the image size reducer with a limit.
- Photos with transparency should stay PNG or WebP.
