Questions & answers
How do I reduce a photo to 500 KB?
Drop the photo on this page. The limit is preset to 500 KB, so just press Compress and download the result. It will be 500 KB or smaller.
Will my photo still look good at 500 KB?
The tool searches for the highest quality that still fits under 500 KB, and only shrinks the dimensions when there’s no other way, so you keep as much detail as the limit allows.
Is it really free?
Yes. Every Feemag tool is free, with no sign-up, no watermarks added by us and no daily limits.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Your files are processed by your own browser on your device and never uploaded to a server. That also makes it fast, even on big files.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes: in any modern browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox) on iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux.
