Frequently asked questions
Is 500KB small enough for email attachments?
Yes. At 500 KB you can attach several photos to one email without hitting most providers' limits, and they still look good when opened full screen.
How much detail is lost when compressing to 500KB?
Very little for most photos. 500 KB is enough for a 2,560-pixel JPG at high quality, so the difference from the original is hard to see.
Can I compress a large PNG screenshot to 500KB?
Yes. Choose JPG or WebP as the output for the biggest saving, or keep PNG and the tool reduces the dimensions until the file fits.
