Compress Image to 100KB — why it works this way

A 100KB limit is common on application portals that were built for slow connections or small storage quotas — passport/visa applications, exam registrations, and older government systems are frequent offenders. This tool searches JPEG quality levels locally in your browser until it finds the highest quality that still fits under 100KB, so you're not guessing and re-uploading five times.

Is my file uploaded? No. Everything happens locally in your browser using the Canvas/File APIs — your file is never sent anywhere.

FAQs

Is my photo uploaded anywhere first?+
No — the whole point of this page is that you never have to upload the original photo to get it under 100KB. Compression happens locally in your browser.
Will 100KB look blurry?+
For a typical photo (a headshot, ID photo, or scanned signature), 100KB is usually enough for a clear result. Very large or highly detailed originals may show more compression than a simple portrait.
What if it can't quite reach 100KB?+
The tool always returns the closest quality level at or under your target when that's achievable — it won't silently exceed 100KB.
Can I pick a different size instead?+
Yes — there's a custom KB field on the tool if 100KB isn't your actual limit.
