What to Expect at 100 KB
How Will It Look?
At 100 KB photos stay sharp and natural, and photographed documents remain easy to read.
Always Under 100 KB
The tool never goes over 100 KB. It picks the best quality that fits, keeps your format (JPG stays JPG), and tells you clearly if a picture can't get that small.
Tips for the Best Result at 100 KB
- Form gives a range? Pick the biggest size allowed for the clearest result.
- Photo sideways? Rotate it in your phone's photo app before uploading.
- Keep the original. Always compress from your first photo, not an already-compressed copy.
- Photographing a document? Lay it flat in good light and crop the edges.

At 100 KB photos stay sharp and natural, and photographed documents remain easy to read.

It depends on the photo, but as a guide a typical phone photo comes out about 1,050–1,350 px wide at 100 KB, with good quality. Simple pictures like signatures can stay wider; busy, detailed photos come out a little smaller.
100 KB gives about 5% more room than 95 KB, so photos come out a little wider (about 1,050–1,350 px instead of 1,000–1,300 px) and sharper. Always pick the biggest size your form or website allows — it gives the best quality.

Not quite. Compressing makes the file smaller (KB/MB). Resizing changes the width and height in pixels. This tool does both when needed to reach your target.
First set the exact pixels with Image Resizer, then compress the result here. Leave Max Width empty so the size stays the same.
