Will 500KB keep good quality?
Yes. 500KB is generous for a single image, so most photos and document scans stay sharp.

FAQ
Can I set exact dimensions too?
Yes. You can set pixel dimensions and still target a 500KB file-size limit.
Does resizing happen on a server?
No. Resizing runs in your browser, so your image never leaves your device.
Common situations for this workflow
Portals and forms that allow images up to 500KB.
Document or certificate scans where 500KB keeps text and stamps crisp.
Photo uploads that need more clarity than a 100–300KB cap allows.
Checklist before you upload
Export as JPEG or WebP - both keep good detail at 500KB.
Keep dimensions close to what the portal needs rather than uploading an oversized canvas.
Preview the result to confirm fine detail still looks clean at 500KB.
Tips to hit the target faster
500KB leaves plenty of headroom, so protect quality first and only compress as needed.
WebP can hold more detail than JPEG at the same 500KB size when the portal accepts it.
If a file is still rejected at 500KB, check the dimension and aspect-ratio rules before compressing harder.
