What to know about compress image to a target size
Set a target file size and PicLite adjusts JPG or WebP quality locally to approach it. The result is a new file; compare it with the original before downloading.
- Input
- JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, BMP or HEIC
- Output
- JPG, PNG or WebP
- Processing
- On your device; no file upload or account required
The target control applies to JPG and WebP. PNG output is encoded losslessly and ignores the target, because re-encoding a PNG does not guarantee a smaller file.
A target is a goal, not a guarantee: the final size depends on image content and the browser encoder. An already optimized photo can stay above the target even at the lowest quality.
PicLite keeps the image dimensions. If a file still exceeds a hard limit, resize the photo first and compress it again.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can PicLite compress an image to exactly 100 KB?
PicLite aims for the target and usually lands at or just below it, but it does not guarantee an exact size. Check the result in the file list, and lower the target or resize the image if a form still rejects it.
Which formats support a target file size?
The target control applies to JPG and WebP output. PNG is lossless and ignores the target, so converting a PNG to JPG is often the way to reach a small limit.
Why is my image still larger than the target?
Very large or detailed photos may not compress below the target even at the lowest quality. Resize the image first, then compress it again.
Can I compress several images to the same target?
Yes. Add a batch and every file is compressed toward the same target in one pass, then downloaded together as a ZIP.
Can I use this compress image to a target size without uploading a file?
