Compress Image to KB

A form just rejected your photo for being too big? Pick the exact size it demands — PicFitter shrinks your image to that size, right here in your browser.

🔒 Your image never leaves your device — no upload, no server, no sign-up
Target size

The output is a JPG — the format upload portals expect. Transparent areas of PNG images are placed on a white background, as most forms require.

Why forms reject your photo

Modern phone cameras save photos of 3–8 MB, but application portals — for exams, jobs, visas, banking and government services — usually cap uploads at 20 KB to 2 MB, and often demand one exact size. Uploading the original gets you an error message and a stalled application. PicFitter exists for that moment: it reduces your photo to exactly the size the form asks for, as closely as possible without going over.

How it works

  1. Choose your image. It is opened by your own browser — it is never sent to a server.
  2. Pick the target size the form asked for, or type a custom size in KB.
  3. The tool fine-tunes the encoding. It first adjusts image quality step by step to land just under your target. Only if quality alone cannot get there does it also reduce the pixel dimensions, and it tells you when it does.
  4. Download the result and upload it to your form.

Pick the size your form asks for in the tool above and PicFitter lands your file just under the limit. If the form also fixes pixel dimensions — 200 × 230 px is common — set those first with the Resize tool, then compress.

Frequently asked questions

Is my photo uploaded to your server?

No. PicFitter runs entirely in your web browser using built-in browser technology. Your image is never transmitted, stored or seen by us — you can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tools still work.

Why is the compressed image a JPG?

JPG is the format almost every upload portal accepts, and it is the format that can be tuned most precisely to a target file size. If your form asks for a PNG instead, compress here first, then use our Image Converter — but note a PNG of the same photo will usually be larger.

Will the compressed photo still look good?

For typical targets like 100–200 KB, photos stay sharp enough for documents and ID purposes. Very small targets (20–50 KB) trade more detail for size — the result remains recognisable and suitable for form photos, but it will not be print quality.

What if the form still rejects my file?

Check the form's other requirements: some portals also specify pixel dimensions (use our Resize tool), a specific format, or a size range with a minimum as well as a maximum. Compressing slightly below the stated maximum — for example to 95 KB for a 100 KB limit — also helps, since portals measure sizes slightly differently.

Is PicFitter free? Are there limits?

Yes, it is free, with no daily cap and no account. Because everything runs on your own device, there is no upload queue and no waiting.
