Compress an image to 100 KB

100 KB is generous enough to keep a photograph looking natural. This page starts with that target set.

Your file stays on your device. This tool runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to our servers, and nothing is stored.

Important limitations

Worth knowing before you start, so nothing here comes as a surprise at the point you are submitting a form:

  • The result is at or under 100 KB, not exactly 100 KB.
  • Scanned text stays readable at 100 KB only if you keep the dimensions reasonably large. If words look smudged, raise the dimensions rather than the quality.

How your files are handled

This tool does its work using your browser’s own image and document engine. Your file is read from your device into the page’s memory, processed there, and offered back to you as a download. It is never sent to Fyleit, never written to a server, and never stored anywhere we can reach.

You can verify that for yourself: load this page, disconnect from the internet, and the tool still works. That is also why there is no sign-up and no email field — we have nothing to attach an account to.

Common problems

Text in my scanned document is hard to read.

For documents, dimensions matter more than quality. Keep the scan at least 1200 pixels on the long edge, and accept a lower quality setting — sharp small text survives that better than a smaller, higher-quality image.

Frequently asked questions

Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. This tool uses your browser’s own image engine, so the photo is read, processed and saved entirely on your device. Nothing is sent to us, and nothing is stored. You can confirm this by opening your browser’s network tab, or by disconnecting from the internet after the page has loaded — the tool keeps working.
Is 100 KB enough for a document scan?
For a single A4 page of printed text, usually yes. For a page with photographs, stamps or handwriting in light ink, you may need more — or convert it to PDF instead, which is often what the form actually wants.
