Compress image to 150 KB

Some portals cap uploads at 150 KB, usually for scanned documents and photos. At this size a full-resolution phone photo comes down to around 1200 px and still prints fine at 10×15 cm. Scans of documents keep every letter readable if you crop away the borders first.

At 150 KB you can expect about 1100 to 1300 px on the long side. The exact number depends on how much fine detail the image has: skies and plain walls compress well, foliage and fabric don't.

1. Drop or paste the image. Nothing is uploaded; the work happens in your browser, even offline.
2. The tool encodes the image as JPEG at several quality levels and keeps the one that lands just under 150 KB.
3. If even the lowest acceptable quality is too big, it reduces the pixels a little and tries again, so the result is the largest image that fits.
4. Download the file, or share it straight into WhatsApp or the form on a phone.

Every result shows the final size and pixel dimensions before you download. Need a fixed pixel size too? Set Resize to Exact size (crop) and type the width and height.

This limit is common for college admission portals, CV photos and marketplace listings. If the portal also lists a minimum size (for example "20 KB to 50 KB"), open More options and fill in Min (KB): the tool pads the JPEG so it is never rejected for being too small, without touching the pixels.
