JPG, PNG, WebP Β· Max 10 MB

Application portals are brutally specific: "photo must not exceed 100 KB." Regular compressors give you a quality slider and a guessing game. This tool takes the target size itself β€” a preset chip or any custom number β€” and binary-searches the encoder quality to land as close under your limit as possible at maximum sharpness, downscaling dimensions only when quality alone can't get there.

How to use MB to kB Compressor

  1. 1Drop a JPG, PNG, or WebP into the box above.
  2. 2Tap a preset (20–350 KB) or type any custom target.
  3. 3Click Compress β€” the tool searches for the best quality that fits.
  4. 4Download and check the achieved size in the before/after report.

Features

  • Exact size targeting

    Presets at 20/50/100/150/200/250/300/350 KB plus any custom value from 5 KB to 10 MB.

  • Iterative quality search

    Binary search finds the highest quality that fits β€” not one blind guess.

  • Smart dimension fallback

    If minimum quality is still too big, dimensions step down gradually until the target fits.

  • Format preserved

    JPG stays JPG, PNG stays PNG, WebP stays WebP.

Frequently asked questions

How close to the target will the result be?

Typically within a few percent under it β€” the search finds the highest quality whose output still fits. It never exceeds your target.

What if my image is already smaller than the target?

It's returned unchanged and the tool tells you so β€” no pointless re-encoding, no quality loss.

What happens with very aggressive targets like 20 KB?

Quality drops first; if even minimum quality is too large, the image is progressively downscaled until it fits. A clear error appears only if the combination is truly impossible.

Why does PNG sometimes need more downscaling than JPG?

PNG is lossless by nature β€” its size lever (palette reduction) is weaker than JPG's quality dial, so photographic PNGs often need dimension reduction to hit small targets. Converting to JPG first gets smaller files at the same look.
