Why is my image still larger than 100KB after compression?

Some images contain heavy detail, noise or too much texture. If quality cannot be reduced further without destroying clarity, the tool slightly resizes the image — but extremely complex photos may still go a little above 100KB. Fix: Try choosing 200KB or compress a different original file (screenshots compress best).

Why does the compressed image look a little blurry?

100KB is a very small size for today’s high-resolution images. When the tool shrinks a 3–5 MB photo down to 100KB, slight softness is normal — especially in faces, low-light photos and high-detail backgrounds. Fix: Use 150–300KB if the image must stay sharp (product photos, text images, graphics etc.).

Why did my PNG lose transparency?

Transparency requires PNG or WebP format. However, PNG files cannot always be reduced to 100KB without flattening them to JPEG — which removes transparency. Fix: Choose 200KB+ if you need transparent backgrounds (logos, UI icons, stickers).

Why did my photo rotate sideways after upload?

Some phones save the rotation inside EXIF data instead of actually rotating the pixels. When compressed, that EXIF is removed — making images appear rotated. Fix: Our tool auto-fixes most cases. If it still happens, rotate the original image once in your gallery app and upload again.

The website/form still rejects my photo. What should I do?

Many platforms have hidden rules, like: specific dimensions, only JPEG allowed, max height/width limit, or no transparency. Fix: Check the site's upload instructions — then resize or convert the image accordingly before compressing again.

Why does the downloaded file become JPEG even if I uploaded PNG/WebP?

JPEG produces the smallest size for photos. PNG/WebP images often cannot reach 100KB without major loss unless converted to JPEG. Fix: If format matters (logos, UI icons, transparency), choose a higher size like 200–300KB.

My compressed image looks dull or slightly green. Why?

Some cameras save images in wide-gamut color profiles (Display P3, AdobeRGB, etc.). When converted to JPEG, these colors can shift slightly. Fix: Our tool forces sRGB to avoid tints. If the original file has a broken color profile, re-export it once in your gallery/editor before compressing.

How to use — Reduce image size to 100KB

Quick steps to reduce any image to 100KB without losing visible quality. This guide works for JPG, PNG and WebP images.

Select or drag an image: Click Tap to select image and choose the photo you want to compress.
Preview the file: A thumbnail, filename and current size appear in the preview bar. Use the ✕ button to remove and pick another file.
Choose target size: Select 100 KB from the size dropdown (default). You can also pick 50KB/200KB/500KB depending on needs.
Compress: Click Reduce Size →. The tool uploads, processes and shows Before / After sizes and a download button.
Download & done: Click Download — the tool will deliver the compressed JPG and automatically close the result card.

Pro tip: If you need transparency (PNG), compress to 200KB first and inspect — very small targets force conversion to flattened JPG which removes transparency.

What results should you expect at 100KB?

Different images shrink differently. The final quality depends on how detailed, colorful or complex your photo is. Below is a quick guide so you know what to expect before compressing.

Your Image	When Reduced to 100KB	What You’ll Notice
Phone Photos (2–4 MB)	90–100 KB output	Looks good for social media, slight softening
DSLR / High-detail shots (4–8 MB)	100–150 KB output	Some detail loss; still usable for web
Product Photos (500 KB – 1 MB)	~100 KB output	Very clear; great for listings & catalogs
Simple JPG/PNG Graphics (200–500 KB)	80–100 KB output	Stays sharp & clean
Logos / Flat PNG (50–200 KB)	50–100 KB output	Transparency may be removed*

*Transparent PNGs are converted to JPG when heavily compressed. Choose 200KB+ if you want to keep transparency.
