Recommended settings

Quality

45% to 65%

Max width

400 to 900 px

Format

JPG or WebP for photos; PNG only for simple graphics

Resize advice

Resize first. Very small targets usually require fewer pixels before compression can work.

Practical explanation

Large phone photos, screenshots, or scans are being rejected because the file is bigger than 10KB.

10KB is best handled by combining dimension limits with compression instead of only dragging quality to the lowest value.

Use compression for smaller byte size, resizing for fewer pixels, and conversion when the current format is not right for the destination. Very small targets can require visible tradeoffs, so compare the preview before downloading.

FAQ

Can every image be compressed to 10KB?

No. Detailed or very large images may need heavy resizing or visible quality loss to reach 10KB.

What format is best for 10KB?

JPG and WebP usually create smaller photo files. PNG is better when transparency or crisp graphics matter.

Should I resize or lower quality first?

Resize first for this small target, then tune quality.

Will the image look blurry?

It can if the target is too small for the original detail. Use the preview before downloading.

Is signup required?

No. The compressor is free and does not require an account.
