Compress JPEG to 80 KB
Get a JPEG under 80 KB — handy for portals with an 80 KB cap and for web images that need to stay light. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded. Need different dimensions instead? Resize or convert.
Why compress to 80 KB?
A 80 KB target is usually set for profile photos and document uploads with a strict limit. A JPG photo of around 700×520 pixels fits, with fine for small display quality.
About 700×520 px fits
At medium quality a detailed JPG photo of roughly 700×520 pixels lands under 80 KB; at high quality about 490×360.
Typical use
80 KB limits are common for profile photos and document uploads with a strict limit.
45× smaller than a phone photo
A 12 MP phone photo is around 3–4 MB, so it must shrink about 45×. The tool lowers quality first and resizes only if needed.
Quality to expect
At 80 KB, quality is fine for small display. Good for thumbnails, profile photos and forms.
Scans and documents
A scanned A4 page of about 850×1200 pixels usually fits, because text pages compress far better than photos.
Exact limit, checked
80 KB is measured as 81,920 bytes (1 KB = 1,024 bytes), the way most upload forms count it, so the file is never just over.

Scanned documents under 80 KB
A single scanned page can fit in 80 KB as a JPEG if you:
- crop away the scanner lid or desk edges;
- keep the width around 900–1000 pixels so text stays readable;
- scan in good, even light so the paper stays white.
The tool does the rest, shrinking the page slightly if it must.
Check readability. Use compare and zoom in on the smallest text before submitting.
Multiple pages can be joined afterwards with JPG to PDF.

Frequently asked questions
Will a scanned page be readable at 80 KB?
Usually, if it is cropped and about 900–1000 pixels wide. Check the smallest text with the compare view.
How many pixels fit in 80 KB?
For a detailed JPG photo, about 700×520 at medium quality or 950×710 at low quality. Simple graphics and scans can be much larger.
What quality will a 80 KB photo have?
Fine for small display. Good for thumbnails, profile photos and forms. The tool keeps the dimensions where it can and lowers compression quality first, so faces and text stay readable.
Is 80 KB the same as 80,000 bytes?
Not quite. Most forms count 1 KB as 1,024 bytes, so 80 KB is 81,920 bytes. The tool uses the same count, so a file it marks as under 80 KB is accepted.
Should I use JPG or WebP for 80 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 80 KB?
Very large or detailed images may not reach 80 KB by quality alone. Resize it first (for example to 700 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.
