Compress Image to 80 KB

Compress an image to 80 KB — sized for CVs, cover letters, and documents you attach and send.

Supports JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP and more — up to 50 MB

How to compress an image to 80 KB.

The target is preset, so this takes three steps — plus what to expect at 80 KB.

1
Step 1

Upload your image

Click upload or drag and drop any JPEG, PNG, WebP, SVG, or GIF file from your device.

2
Step 2

Target is already set to 80 KB

This page is preset to 80 KB, so there is nothing to type. Choose JPEG or WebP output for the most efficient result at this size.

Step 3

Compare, then download

Press compress and check the result against your original in the slider. Roughly 1300 × 1300 px is the realistic pixel budget at 80 KB — download when it looks right.

Getting the best results

Compress before inserting, not after

Word and PowerPoint embed whatever you give them and their own compression is crude. Resize and compress first, then insert, and the document stays small without a quality penalty.

Crop headshots to the frame you want

A CV photograph is displayed small. Cropping to head and shoulders before compressing means the 80 KB budget is spent on the face rather than the background.

Compressing an image to 80 KB.

What 80 KB is actually for, what it can hold, and how to get there without wasting quality.

What 80 KB is good for

80 KB is a document-friendly size. When a photograph is embedded in a CV, a report, or a slide deck, it needs to be sharp on screen and in print without inflating the file it lives inside.

Documents accumulate weight quickly. A CV with a photo and two logos at 80 KB each stays comfortably emailable; the same document with unprocessed camera images can exceed 10 MB.

Where this size is required

Photographs embedded in CVs and cover letters, images inside Word or PDF documents, logos in report templates, and slide deck imagery.

What to expect at 80 KB

Photographs are clean to roughly 1300 × 1300 pixels, which prints acceptably at small sizes and looks sharp on any screen.

Frequently asked questions.

Everything you need to know about compressing images to 80 KB.

Almost always embedded images at full camera resolution. Compressing each to around 80 KB before inserting typically cuts the document by 90% with no visible difference on screen or in print.

Yes, at the size a CV photo occupies. At roughly 1.7 megapixels it prints cleanly up to a few centimetres, which is more than any CV layout requires.

Because it embeds them at full camera resolution. Compressing each to around 80 KB before inserting typically cuts the document by 90% with no visible change on screen or in print.

Yes. At the size a CV photo occupies, this holds roughly 1.7 megapixels, which prints cleanly at a few centimetres — well beyond what the layout needs.

That is generous for a logo. Most are better as PNG at a fraction of the size, and PNG keeps the edges sharp where JPEG softens them.

For a photographic JPEG, roughly 1300 × 1300 px is the practical ceiling before compression becomes visible. Flat graphics, screenshots, and document scans do considerably better, because they contain less fine detail to preserve.

No. Images are processed on our secure server only to perform the compression and are deleted immediately after your download. They are never stored, shared, or accessed by anyone.
