About Compress to 5KB

Select one or multiple photos to compress the image to 5kb. Moving further, enter 5kb in the Input. Click on the 'Compress' button. Wait for the compression and download the compressed image. This is an online tool that allows you to compress images to 5kb online.

As with our image tool, Image compression can reduce your image size to 5kb without any corruption. But when used in the right circumstances, JPEG compression can help you reclaim valuable disk space without destroying your images.

Note: You can only compress 3 images at a time and the file size limit is 20 MB.

We offer a variety of options for compressing your image to any size. Simply choose one from the list below.

Frequently asked questions

How do I compress an image to 5 KB?
Drop your photo in, and the tool searches for the highest JPEG quality that still lands at or under 5 KB, then shows you the result before you download it. You can add several images and compress them in one go.
Will compressing to 5 KB make my photo look bad?
It depends on the starting photo. A simple portrait or a document scan usually reaches 5 KB with no visible difference; a large, detailed landscape may show some softening because there is far more information to throw away. The preview shows you exactly what you are getting before you download.
What if the file cannot reach the target size?
The tool reduces quality as far as it sensibly can and, if needed, scales the image down to reach the limit. If the target is extremely small for a very large photo, you will get the closest achievable result rather than a broken file.
Which image formats are supported?
JPG and JPEG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC/HEIF from iPhones. The output format is whatever the tool is set to produce.
Can I compress more than one image at a time?
Yes. Add as many as you like, compress them together, and download them individually or as a single ZIP.
Is my file uploaded to a server?
No. The whole tool runs as JavaScript inside your browser, so your file is processed on your own device and never leaves it. You can even load the page, disconnect, and it still works.
