  • On-device only

    Compression and conversion run in the browser — pixels never leave your phone or computer.

  • No photo upload

    During processing the file body does not go over the network. Save mobile data: you are not shipping megabytes to someone else’s server.

  • No ads

    We do not show ads and we do not accept your files. We physically never see your photos.

  • We don’t store photos

    We do not save images on a server or in the cloud. Open, process, download.

How it works

Your photo stays in browser memory and is not sent to our server during compression. Opening the site still downloads the page as usual. For visit stats we may use Google Analytics: page, device type, button clicks — not file names or pixels. Language choice may be remembered in the browser. Analytics cookies are Google’s; you can limit them in browser settings. You can also press Offline in the header to cache this language’s tool pages and engines on your device; your files are still not uploaded.

A 100 KB limit is common on government forms, job applications, email attachments, and older forums. The tool tunes JPEG/WebP quality and resolution until weight approaches the target.

By default the long edge is up to 1600 px and the target is 100 KB. If the frame is noisy or very detailed, drop the side to 1280 or 1024 px and recalculate.

Everything runs in the browser — a passport scan or form photo doesn’t go to someone else’s cloud. Exactly 102400 bytes isn’t always possible: the goal is “fit”, not bit-for-bit.

FAQ

Is it safe to compress documents?

File contents are not sent to the PixLocal server. Processing is browser-only. Google Analytics may count button clicks, not file names or pixels.

Do I always get exactly 100 KB?

Not always — it depends on the frame. You can also lower the max side in pixels.

Why does the photo look soft?

To fit 100 KB you must trade detail. Resize first, then quality: that usually looks livelier than only a very low JPEG.

Does PNG also compress to 100 KB?

More often via JPG or WebP. Pure lossless PNG under 100 KB for photos is almost unrealistic.
