How Private Photo Converter compresses a photo to 500 KB

Private Photo Converter tries different quality levels and, if needed, reduces the dimensions step by step, until each photo fits within 500 KB. It always keeps the highest quality that still fits, and everything happens in your browser: nothing is uploaded.

When 500 KB is the right size

500 KB is a good balance for social media, messaging apps and blog images: light to send, still sharp on a phone screen.

Tips for a good result

About the formats

JPG
The most widely used: opens everywhere. Ideal for photos, email and social media. No transparency, and a slight loss from compression.
WebP
Modern and very light. Ideal for websites and apps. Some older programs can't open it.
AVIF
Produces the smallest files at the same quality. Ideal for modern websites. Limited support in old software, and slower conversion.
