How to Reduce an Image Below 100 KB
A practical method for reducing a photo when an online application specifies a maximum file size.
Check the application's actual requirement
The required file size, dimensions and accepted formats vary by application. Treat the application's instructions as the source of truth.
Resize before aggressive compression
A very large camera image can remain large after compression. Use the Image Resizer to reduce unnecessary pixel dimensions, then compress the result.
Use the FormWise compressor
Open the Image Compressor, select the image and lower quality gradually. Inspect the result before downloading.
Keep the original
Always retain your original image until the destination has accepted the processed copy.
