Resize Image to 150 KB
150 KB is enough for a good-looking photo at typical web sizes. This page opens the compressor with a 150 KB target for profile photos, listings and page images. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded. Need different dimensions instead? Resize or convert.
Why compress to 150 KB?
150 KB is a common upload limit for profile photos and document uploads with a strict limit. At that size a JPG photo can be about 960×720 pixels at medium 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.

150 KB for listings and profiles
At 150 KB a JPG can hold a 1200-pixel-wide photo at decent quality — enough for product listings, property photos, and the main image on a blog post.
Batch whole listings. Marketplaces often ask for many photos, each under a limit. Drop them all in; each is compressed separately and you can download a ZIP.
Page speed. Keeping each image around 150 KB means a page with ten photos still loads quickly on mobile data.
WebP is smaller. If the site accepts WebP, convert with JPG to WebP — the same 150 KB buys noticeably better quality.

Frequently asked questions
Is 150 KB good enough for a product photo?
Yes for display at typical listing sizes. Marketplaces with zoom may want larger files — check their limits.
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.
