How Will It Look?
At 160 KB photos look sharp and detailed, and text in photographed documents is easy to read.
Always Under 160 KB
The tool never goes over 160 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 160 KB
- JPG stays JPG, PNG stays PNG and WEBP stays WEBP.
- Documents: make sure all four corners are in the photo and the text is in focus.
- Turn off the flash when photographing glossy cards to avoid white glare.
- Keep the original. Compress from your first photo, not an already-compressed copy.
