Compress JPEG to 150 KB
At 150 KB a JPEG can be large enough to fill a phone screen and still load quickly. This page converts to JPEG and targets 150 KB. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded. Need different dimensions instead? Resize or convert.
Why compress to 150 KB?
A 150 KB target is usually set for profile photos and document uploads with a strict limit. A JPG photo of around 960×720 pixels fits, with good quality.
About 960×720 px fits
At medium quality a detailed JPG photo of roughly 960×720 pixels lands under 150 KB; at high quality about 670×500.
Typical use
150 KB limits are common for profile photos and document uploads with a strict limit.
24× smaller than a phone photo
A 12 MP phone photo is around 3–4 MB, so it must shrink about 24×. The tool lowers quality first and resizes only if needed.
Quality to expect
At 150 KB, quality is good. Plenty for web pages, email and on-screen viewing.
Scans and documents
A scanned A4 page of about 1160×1640 pixels usually fits, because text pages compress far better than photos.
Exact limit, checked
150 KB is measured as 153,600 bytes (1 KB = 1,024 bytes), the way most upload forms count it, so the file is never just over.

Full-screen phone photos at 150 KB
Pixel guide: around 900 pixels wide — which fills the width of most phone screens.
Marketplaces that show a big photo on mobile but limit uploads to 150–200 KB are a good fit. Keep the product centred with a little space around it; many sites crop to a square in listings.
JPG vs keeping format. This page always outputs JPEG, which is the safest choice for listings. To keep PNG or WebP, use resize image to 150 KB.

Frequently asked questions
Is 150 KB enough for a product photo?
For mobile listing views, usually yes — around 900 pixels wide at good quality.
How many pixels fit in 150 KB?
For a detailed JPG photo, about 960×720 at medium quality or 1300×970 at low quality. Simple graphics and scans can be much larger.
What quality will a 150 KB photo have?
Good. Plenty for web pages, email and on-screen viewing. The tool keeps the dimensions where it can and lowers compression quality first, so faces and text stay readable.
Is 150 KB the same as 150,000 bytes?
Not quite. Most forms count 1 KB as 1,024 bytes, so 150 KB is 153,600 bytes. The tool uses the same count, so a file it marks as under 150 KB is accepted.
Should I use JPG or WebP for 150 KB?
JPG is accepted everywhere and is the safe choice for forms. WebP holds about 30% more detail at the same size, ideal for websites that support it.
Why is my file still over 150 KB?
Very large or detailed images may not reach 150 KB by quality alone. Resize it first (for example to 960 pixels wide) with the resizer, then compress again.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. They are read and compressed by your own browser and never leave your device. You can disconnect from the internet once the page has loaded and it will still work.
