How this tool works

What it does

Reduces a photo to a smaller file by quality, by a target size in KB, or by limiting dimensions. Useful when a form rejects images above a certain size.

Target and dimensions

Set a KB target and the tool converges toward it, or cap width, height, or percentage directly when a portal specifies maximum dimensions.

Privacy

The photo is processed on your device with no upload. Your files are never sent to imgtoolsbase or any other server.

Photo Size Reducer in your browser

Photo Size Reducer focuses on one job: getting a photo under a size or dimension limit that an upload form or portal requires. It runs privately in your browser with no server round trip.

Use Target file size to approach a KB cap, or set maximum width, height, or scale percentage when a form asks for specific dimensions. The tool reports the size it achieved.

How to use Photo Size Reducer

  1. Add the photo you need to shrink, by upload box or drag and drop.
  2. Choose Target file size and enter a KB limit, or set a maximum width, height, or percentage.
  3. Pick a quality level if you are using manual mode.
  4. Click Process, confirm the size meets the limit, then click Download.

Exact dimensions

Size report

See original size, output size, dimensions, and percent saved after every run.

Private by design

Everything runs locally in your browser, so the photo is never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get my photo under a specific KB size?

Switch to Target file size, enter the KB limit, and the tool lowers quality and, if needed, dimensions to approach it, then reports the achieved size.

Can I set exact maximum dimensions?

Yes. Choose the resize option for maximum width, maximum height, or a scale percentage, and the photo will not exceed it.

Can I reduce a photo for an upload form without sending it online?

Yes. The photo is reduced in your browser, so you can prepare it for an upload form without sending it anywhere first.

What if the target size cannot be reached?

The tool gets as close as it can by lowering quality and downscaling, and reports the closest size achieved so you can resize further if required.

Does it keep my original format?

By default it keeps your input format. You can convert to JPG, PNG, or WebP if that produces a smaller file.
