Each picture is saved at the highest quality that fits, then drawn smaller when quality alone can't get it there.

A picture already under it is kept as it is.

A JPG, PNG, or WebP stays what it is. Other pictures become JPG, or PNG when they're transparent.

Off, the quality goes as low as it takes instead, and some sizes can't be reached.

How to compress an image to 7 KB

Add your photos, and each is saved at the highest quality that stays under 7 KB, then drawn a little smaller only when quality alone can't get it there. Some exam and job portals want a photo or a thumbprint under 7 KB, or say a file can't be less than it. Everything happens in your browser, so your pictures are never uploaded.

  1. Step 1

    Choose your photos
    Add one picture, several, or a folder.
  2. Step 2

    Check the size
    Keep 7 KB or type another. Tick Not smaller than if the form sets one.
  3. Step 3

    Download
    Save each photo, or all of them in a ZIP, once its size is checked.

What to expect

Supported inputs
JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, AVIF, BMP, GIF, and SVG, one or many at once. HEIC opens in Chrome, Edge, and Safari on most computers, but not in Firefox.
What happens
A JPG, PNG, or WebP stays in its format unless you choose another; HEIC and other photos become JPG. JPG and WebP are saved at lower and lower quality until they fit, never below a quality that still looks like a photo, and only then is the picture drawn smaller. A PNG is cut to 256 colors with dithering before it's drawn smaller. Every file is read back and measured before you see it. If a form also sets a smallest size, tick Not smaller than and type it.
Limits
A picture already under 7 KB is kept as it is. The smaller the size, the smaller a photo comes out. Very large pictures can be more than a phone's browser can hold.

Add it here. It's saved at the highest quality under 7 KB, and the finished size is shown on its row before you download it. Nothing is uploaded.

Yes. Tick Not smaller than and type the size, for forms that want a file between two sizes. Quality goes up to reach it, and the picture is drawn larger if it has to be.

A JPG, PNG, or WebP stays what it is. Choose JPG under Save as when a form asks for one; it's also the format that gets a photo smallest.

At 7 KB a JPG holds a picture a few hundred pixels across: enough for a passport photo or signature box on a form, though not for printing.
