About Compress Image to Target Size (KB)
This tool compresses any image to an exact target file size in kilobytes. Type the maximum KB you're allowed (for example 50 KB or 200 KB), and it automatically lowers the JPEG quality — and resizes the image when needed — to land at or under your limit while keeping the best possible quality. It's ideal for job portals, exam applications and government forms that reject images above a certain size. All processing happens locally in your browser, so your photo is never uploaded.

Are my images uploaded?
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API — nothing leaves your device.
