Compress Image to 85 KB

Compress an image to 85 KB — enough to serve retina screens without doubling your page weight.

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

How to compress an image to 85 KB.

The target is preset, so this takes three steps — plus what to expect at 85 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 85 KB

This page is preset to 85 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 1350 × 1350 px is the realistic pixel budget at 85 KB — download when it looks right.

Getting the best results

Double the dimensions, lower the quality

A 2× image at a lower quality setting often weighs about the same as a 1× image at high quality, and looks better on every modern screen. Test the pairing rather than assuming.

Let the browser pick

Responsive image markup with srcset lets each device download only the version it needs, instead of every visitor receiving the largest file.

Compressing an image to 85 KB.

What 85 KB is actually for, what it can hold, and how to get there without wasting quality.

What 85 KB is good for

85 KB is a considered answer to high-density displays. A retina screen wants roughly twice the pixels, but sending twice the file size for every image is not a sustainable trade.

The way out is that a larger image tolerates more compression. Doubling the dimensions while lowering quality lands near the original file size and looks sharper on the screens that matter.

Where this size is required

Images destined for retina and high-DPI displays, product photography on modern devices, and pages where visual sharpness is a selling point.

What to expect at 85 KB

Photographs hold to roughly 1350 × 1350 pixels — enough to display at 675 pixels on a 2× screen with no visible softness.

Frequently asked questions.

Everything you need to know about compressing images to 85 KB.

Most phones and modern laptops are high-density, so 2× is a reasonable default for anything where sharpness matters. Use responsive markup so lower-density screens are not forced to download it.

No, and this is the useful part. Larger images tolerate more aggressive compression, so a 2× file at a lower quality setting often lands close to the 1× file at high quality.

It is the better approach. Responsive markup lets high-density screens fetch the 2× file and everything else fetch a smaller one, instead of every visitor downloading the largest.

Because larger images tolerate more compression. Doubling the dimensions while lowering quality often lands near the original file size and still looks sharper on modern screens.

Most phones and recent laptops are. If images and text look noticeably crisper than on an older monitor, the display has a pixel ratio above 1 and benefits from 2× images.

For a photographic JPEG, roughly 1350 × 1350 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.
