Resize Image to 35 KB
35 KB is a good budget for a thumbnail in a product grid or gallery. This page compresses each image to fit under it — and you can drop in a whole batch at once. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded. Need different dimensions instead? Resize or convert.
Why compress to 35 KB?
35 KB is a common upload limit for passport-style photos on exam, job and visa application portals. At that size a JPG photo can be about 460×340 pixels at medium quality.
About 460×340 px fits
At medium quality a detailed JPG photo of roughly 460×340 pixels lands under 35 KB; at high quality about 320×240.
Typical use
35 KB limits are common for passport-style photos on exam, job and visa application portals.
102× smaller than a phone photo
A 12 MP phone photo is around 3–4 MB, so it must shrink about 102×. The tool lowers quality first and resizes only if needed.
Quality to expect
At 35 KB, quality is fine for small display. Good for thumbnails, profile photos and forms.
Scans and documents
A scanned A4 page of about 560×790 pixels usually fits, because text pages compress far better than photos.
Exact limit, checked
35 KB is measured as 35,840 bytes (1 KB = 1,024 bytes), the way most upload forms count it, so the file is never just over.

Compress an image to 35 KB in 3 steps

- Click Compress and download a JPG under 35 KB.

Thumbnails that keep pages fast
Multiply it out. A category page with 24 products at 35 KB each loads 840 KB of images. At 200 KB each it would be almost 5 MB — slow on a phone connection, and bad for search rankings.
Resize first. Thumbnails are usually shown 200–300 pixels wide. Resize to 400–450 pixels (for sharp 2× screens), then compress to 35 KB. Starting from full-size photos wastes the budget on pixels nobody sees.
Batch it. Add all your thumbnails at once; each one is compressed to the same target and you can download them as a ZIP.
Square thumbnails: 400×400, 450×450. Other budgets: 30 KB, 45 KB.

Frequently asked questions
Can I compress many images to 35 KB at once?
Yes. Add them all together — each is compressed to the target separately — then download them one by one or as a ZIP.
How many pixels fit in 35 KB?
For a detailed JPG photo, about 460×340 at medium quality or 630×470 at low quality. Simple graphics and scans can be much larger.
What quality will a 35 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 35 KB the same as 35,000 bytes?
Not quite. Most forms count 1 KB as 1,024 bytes, so 35 KB is 35,840 bytes. The tool uses the same count, so a file it marks as under 35 KB is accepted.
Should I use JPG or WebP for 35 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 35 KB?
Very large or detailed images may not reach 35 KB by quality alone. Resize it first (for example to 460 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.
