How it works

From source files to finished batch

01

Choose your source images

Select images to open compress image to 500 kb in the studio. The matching workflow and preset are selected automatically; you can still change them before export.

02

Review the preset

This limit is useful for review photos and moderately sized product images. Begin with the preset, compare the real output, and raise the quality ceiling only if the budget allows it.

03

Process and save copies

Preview the selected image, then process the whole batch. Compare the real dimensions and encoded size before saving individual results or one ZIP. Your originals are not overwritten.

Common uses

Built for everyday image work

A focused compress workflow

Create lighter photos under a 500 KB target without manually guessing a quality level for every source image.

One image or a whole folder

Use the same settings across up to 50 files. Check unusual compositions or mixed-resolution images before processing the batch.

Combine with other edits

Add resize, crop, rotate, color, watermark, or compression steps in the studio. The workflow runs in the displayed order and shares one final output format.

Worth knowing

Keep the output predictable

Choosing the right settings

This limit is useful for review photos and moderately sized product images. Begin with the preset, compare the real output, and raise the quality ceiling only if the budget allows it.

Format and quality limits

The tool may reduce dimensions to reach the target. For print originals, keep a separate high-resolution copy and use these outputs only for sharing.

Local processing and source limits

Files stay in browser memory. Each source can be up to 40 MB, within the 16,384-pixel edge and 80-megapixel canvas limits. HEIC uses the first contained image; AVIF requires browser decoding. Export is JPEG, PNG, or WebP, not HEIC or AVIF.
