Reduce a JPG photo to under 30 KB with the best quality that fits — no upload, no watermark.
JPG, PNG, or WebP — up to 40 MB
🔒 100% private — files are processed in your browser and never uploaded to any server.
Drop your JPG in — the 30 KB target is set — and the tool finds the best JPEG quality that stays under 30 KB. The output stays a JPG.
Only as much as needed to hit the target. It keeps the highest quality that fits and shows a preview before you download.
No — compression runs in your browser and the file never leaves your device.
The 30 KB JPG limit is common on small photo fields and low-limit avatar uploads that want a JPG under 30 KB. Set it above and download a JPG that fits.
30 KB keeps a cropped JPG portrait recognisable with only modest softening.
Start from the original camera file rather than a messaging-app copy. You can also use the image compressor for PNG and WebP.
The tool runs a rapid binary search over quality levels, measuring the true output size at each step until it lands on the highest quality that still fits under 30 KB. You get a preview before downloading, so there are no surprises. If the image is very large for a tight target, it also gently reduces the pixel dimensions, because a slightly smaller but clean image always looks better than a full-size one riddled with compression artefacts.
Upload forms reject anything over their stated limit, so "roughly smaller" is not good enough — you need to land under 30 KB on the first attempt. Aiming for the exact size gives you the best-looking image that still passes, instead of over-compressing out of caution and ending up with something needlessly blurry.
Every limit below uses the same tool with a different target, so you can go straight to the one your form or inbox actually asks for. If you only need a smaller file size in general and no exact number, pick the next limit up from where you are now and keep more quality.
Not sure which limit you need, or want to type an exact number of your own? The image compressor takes any target you give it.
