Compress images to 500KB or less

Reduce multiple JPEG, PNG or WebP files below a 500KB ceiling in one local browser workflow, then download every result individually or together as a ZIP.

Can I compress several images below 500KB together?

Yes. Add multiple files, keep the prepared 500KB limit and process the batch once. Kompixa adjusts supported JPEG or WebP outputs per file and keeps the source files on your device.

Evidence on this page

The workflow reports each source and output size and supports individual or ZIP downloads.

Important limit

PNG is lossless and may not reach a strict target; choose JPEG or WebP when maximum file size is mandatory.

Why use Kompixa?

  • The settings are ready for this exact task when the page opens.
  • No upload, account or watermark
  • Batch processing and predictable file names

How it works

Reduce multiple JPEG, PNG or WebP files below 500KB while keeping as much visual quality as possible.

Common questions

Are my images uploaded?

No. Processing runs inside your browser and the original files are not sent to Kompixa.

Which formats work?

This first release supports JPEG, PNG and WebP. Browser support can vary.

What is this workflow optimized for?

Reduce multiple JPEG, PNG or WebP files below 500KB while keeping as much visual quality as possible.

Real test: 1.26 MB PNG to about 102 KB WebP

A 1920 × 1080 browser screenshot was processed locally with Kompixa. The output kept the same pixel dimensions and finished far below the 500 KB ceiling.

How to compress a batch below 500 KB

  1. Select JPEG, PNG or WebP images.
  2. Keep the 500 KB target or enter another upper limit.
  3. Choose WebP for smaller web files or JPEG for photo compatibility.
  4. Process the batch and inspect each result before downloading.
  5. Use Download all as ZIP when every output is ready.

Why an image may not land exactly on 500 KB

Kompixa searches for a result under the selected ceiling. A simple screenshot may compress far below the limit, while a detailed photograph may need lower quality or smaller dimensions. PNG output is lossless and may remain larger than JPEG or WebP.

Practical rule: treat 500 KB as a maximum. Compare the preview and output size instead of assuming a larger file is automatically better.

Measured target-size workflow

How Kompixa searches for a result below 500KB

The 500KB value is treated as a maximum, not a promise that every output will be exactly 500KB. The browser first searches quality at the selected dimensions and reduces dimensions only when quality alone cannot reach the ceiling.

Quality search

For JPEG, WebP and supported AVIF output, Kompixa performs up to nine quality probes in each round, starting between quality 18% and the selected starting quality.

Dimension fallback

If the minimum tested quality remains above the target, dimensions are reduced to 84% of the previous round. The process can repeat for up to seven rounds.

Why PNG behaves differently

The browser PNG encoder does not expose the same lossy quality control. A PNG target is therefore not treated like a JPEG, WebP or AVIF target.

Check before a large batch

The Target KB Estimator can probe one representative image first. Completed batch cards then show the measured output size and dimensions for every file.
