How do I compress an image to exactly 50 KB?

Choose Target size, enter 50 KB and click Compress. The highest quality that fits under 50 KB is found automatically.

Which format should I choose?

JPG for compatibility, WebP for the smallest files with transparency, PNG for lossless screenshots and logos.

Does compressing remove GPS location data?

Yes. Compressed images are re-encoded, which strips EXIF metadata including GPS location.

Can I compress many images at once?

Yes. Add any number of images and download them individually or as a ZIP.

How do I compress an image to exactly 50 KB?

Choose Target size, enter 50 KB and click Compress. File Studio searches for the highest quality that fits under 50 KB, and lowers the resolution only if quality alone can't get there. The result is always at or under your limit, measured in the same decimal kilobytes upload portals use.

Which format should I choose: JPG, WebP or PNG?

JPG opens everywhere and is the safest choice for photos and government portals. WebP is around 25–35% smaller at the same quality and keeps transparency. PNG is lossless, so it only gets smaller when you resize it. Auto keeps JPG and WebP files as they are, turns opaque PNGs into JPG and keeps transparent images as WebP.

Does compressing remove the photo's location data?

Yes. Every compressed image is re-encoded from its pixels, which drops EXIF metadata including GPS coordinates, camera model and capture time. The photo's rotation is applied first, so it still displays the right way up.

Can I compress many images at once?

Yes. Add as many images as you like; the same settings apply to all of them. Download each one individually or all of them together as a ZIP file.

Why can't my image reach a very small size like 10 KB?

Every image has a floor below which it can't shrink without becoming unrecognisable. If the target can't be met, File Studio gives you the smallest version it found and tells you what to change: allow smaller dimensions, switch from PNG to JPG, or pick a slightly larger target.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. File Studio is built on a strict local-first architecture. Every PDF operation — merging, splitting, compressing, redacting — runs entirely inside your browser using JavaScript. Your files never leave your computer. You can even disconnect your internet after the page loads and the tools will continue working perfectly.

Is File Studio completely free?

Yes, 100% free with no limits. There are no file size caps, no daily limits, no watermarks added to your output, and no account or email required. All tools are free forever.

Does it work on mobile and tablet?

Yes. File Studio is fully responsive and works on Android and iOS browsers. All processing happens locally on your phone's or tablet's hardware.

Compress Image Online — Any Exact Size, No Upload

Compress JPG, PNG and WebP images to an exact size like 20 KB, 50 KB or 100 KB. Batch compress, resize and strip GPS data. Free, runs in your browser, nothing uploaded.

Compress an Image to an Exact Size in KB

Exam applications, job portals and government forms often reject photos above a fixed limit such as 20 KB, 50 KB or 100 KB. Instead of guessing a quality level and trying again, type the limit into File Studio and it does the searching for you. It encodes the image at several quality levels, keeps the highest one that fits under your limit, and only lowers the resolution if quality alone isn't enough. Limits are treated as decimal kilobytes (50 KB means 50,000 bytes), so the result passes portals that count either way.

Pick the Right Format: JPG, WebP, AVIF or PNG

JPG is the safe default: every device, email client and upload form accepts it. WebP produces files roughly a quarter to a third smaller at the same visual quality and keeps transparent backgrounds, which makes it ideal for websites. AVIF goes smaller still where your browser can create it. PNG is lossless, so it's the right choice for screenshots, diagrams and logos with sharp edges, but it only gets smaller when you reduce its dimensions. Leave the format on Auto and File Studio keeps JPG and WebP files as they are, converts opaque PNGs to JPG and keeps transparent images as WebP.

Resize, Crop and Batch Compress in One Step

Scale images by percentage, fit them inside a maximum width and height, or crop them to an exact size such as 1080×1080 for a square social post or 1200×630 for a link preview. Settings apply to every image you add, so you can compress a whole folder of holiday photos at once and download them as a single ZIP. A before-and-after slider with 2× and 4× zoom lets you check the fine detail before you download, and your settings are remembered for next time.

Private by Design: Nothing Is Uploaded

Online image compressors usually upload your photos to their servers. File Studio does all the work inside your browser tab, in a background worker, so the page stays responsive and your images never leave your device. Re-encoding also removes EXIF metadata, including the GPS location embedded by most phone cameras, the camera model and the capture time, which makes compressed photos safer to share publicly.
