Compress a JPEG to 100 KB
100 KB JPEG limits appear on document portals (UPSC caps signatures at 100 KB), job-application systems and most CMS media policies. This preset delivers the best-looking JPEG that stays under 100 KB — computed on your machine, not on a server.

How it works
- Open this page — the compressor is already set for “Compress JPEG to 100 KB”.
- Drop your image into the box, click to browse, or paste it with Ctrl+V.
- The tool re-encodes the image on your own device until it fits the target — nothing is uploaded.
- Check the preview and file size on the result card, then download.
Why JPEG for this job
JPEG is the right choice for photographs and for any government or exam portal — most of them accept only JPG/JPEG. The tool binary-searches JPEG’s quality setting to land just under 100 KB at the best quality that fits.
JPEG has no transparency: transparent areas are filled with white during conversion, which is what forms expect for photos and signatures on paper.
Frequently asked questions
Should I resize before compressing to 100 KB?
Usually unnecessary — the tool scales dimensions automatically only when needed. But if you know the display size (say a 800 px profile box), scaling to it first spends the whole budget on visible quality.
Does this strip EXIF metadata from my JPEG?
Yes. The output is a fresh encode without the original’s camera metadata — GPS location, device model, capture time. For photos you’re uploading somewhere, that’s usually exactly what you want.
