About this tool
Many online forms and websites refuse a photo bigger than a set size. 500 KB is used for good-quality photos for websites, WhatsApp and email that still load fast. This tool saves your photo as a JPG at the highest quality that still fits under 500 KB - it tries one quality after another until the file fits - and makes the picture a few pixels smaller only when that is the only way. The result is checked before you download it, so it is never over the limit.
