When uploading photos to government portals or job forms, you often need to hit strict limits like 50KB. Our tool uses smart client-side algorithms to shrink JPG, PNG, and WebP images to your exact required KB size while retaining maximum clarity. Since it processes locally, your personal photos are never exposed to remote servers.
6 Precision Compression Superpowers (Exact KB Limits • Zero Quality Loss)
Dial in the exact file size required by government, job, and exam portals without blurring faces or text.
Other compressors give you arbitrary percentage sliders that leave you guessing. EditPDFKit's binary solver hits exact 20KB, 50KB, 100KB, or 200KB limits on the first try.
1. Exact Target KB Solver (20KB, 50KB, 100KB)
Type your exact limit (e.g. 50 KB for ID photos or 20 KB for signatures) and our binary search algorithm finds the maximum quality that stays under the limit.
2. Interactive Split Compare Slider
Slide back and forth across your photo to compare the original vs. compressed result at 100% zoom before downloading.
3. Batch Image Compression
Compress up to 30 images simultaneously. Set target file sizes globally or tweak individual photos in the batch.
4. Multi-Format & HEIC Support
Compress standard JPG, JPEG, PNG, and modern WebP formats, as well as iPhone camera HEIC/HEIF files without conversion software.
5. Dual Download: Individual or All as ZIP
Download compressed files one by one with their updated KB weights, or bundle the entire batch into a clean ZIP archive.
6. 100% Private In-Browser Optimization
Photos are compressed inside browser memory using HTML5 Canvas & WebAssembly. Zero bytes are uploaded to remote servers.

When you pick a file, your browser opens it directly on your computer or phone. Your document stays on your device and is never uploaded anywhere.
2. Process in Your Browser
Your device does all the work right inside your browser. Because there are no server queues or waiting lines, your files are processed instantly.
