Compress JPEG to 700 KB
700 KB holds a large, high-quality photo — often close to full phone resolution. This page saves JPEG and targets just under 700 KB. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded. Need different dimensions instead? Resize or convert.
Why compress to 700 KB?
Many sites cap images at 700 KB — typically for blog images, large web graphics and attachments. That leaves room for roughly a 2080×1560 JPG photo.
About 2080×1560 px fits
At medium quality a detailed JPG photo of roughly 2080×1560 pixels lands under 700 KB; at high quality about 1450×1090.
Typical use
700 KB limits are common for blog images, large web graphics and attachments.
5.1× smaller than a phone photo
A 12 MP phone photo is around 3–4 MB, so it must shrink about 5.1×. The tool lowers quality first and resizes only if needed.
Quality to expect
At 700 KB, quality is very good. There is room for a sharp, full-screen photo.
Scans and documents
A scanned A4 page of about 2510×3550 pixels usually fits, because text pages compress far better than photos.
Exact limit, checked
700 KB is measured as 716,800 bytes (1 KB = 1,024 bytes), the way most upload forms count it, so the file is never just over.

Near full-resolution at 700 KB
Pixel guide: around 1950 pixels wide, and often more for simple scenes — many phone photos keep most of their resolution.
Print proofs. Sending a client or print shop a proof? 700 KB is small enough for email and big enough to judge colour and composition.
Competitions and portfolios with a sub-1 MB limit get a sharp image without risk of rejection.
Big PNGs (screenshots of large screens, digital art) often shrink from several megabytes to under 700 KB as JPEG.

Frequently asked questions
Will 700 KB keep full resolution?
Often close to it. Busy, detailed photos may be reduced slightly to keep the quality high.
How many pixels fit in 700 KB?
For a detailed JPG photo, about 2080×1560 at medium quality or 2820×2110 at low quality. Simple graphics and scans can be much larger.
What quality will a 700 KB photo have?
Very good. There is room for a sharp, full-screen photo. The tool keeps the dimensions where it can and lowers compression quality first, so faces and text stay readable.
Is 700 KB the same as 700,000 bytes?
Not quite. Most forms count 1 KB as 1,024 bytes, so 700 KB is 716,800 bytes. The tool uses the same count, so a file it marks as under 700 KB is accepted.
Should I use JPG or WebP for 700 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 700 KB?
Very large or detailed images may not reach 700 KB by quality alone. Resize it first (for example to 2080 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.
