Frequently asked questions

How do I compress an image to 5 KB?

Select your image, set the target to 5 KB, press Start and download the result. The tool finds the best quality that stays within the limit.

Why does my image look blurry after compressing?

To reach a small file size the tool has to remove detail. Very small limits such as 5 KB or 10 KB will always look softer. Start from the largest original photo you have for the best result.

Is this tool free? Do I need to sign up?

Yes. It is completely free and you do not need to create an account.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. The work is done inside your own browser on your phone or computer. Your files are not sent to PixKB.org.
