Your images never leave your browser
All processing happens locally on your device. Nothing is uploaded to a server, stored, or tracked.
Many apps reject files over 5 MB for attachments and uploads. Bring a camera photo under five megabytes with high quality kept intact via quality search.
How it works
Why compress images to 5000 KB?
Many apps reject files over 5 MB for attachments and uploads. Bring a camera photo under five megabytes with high quality kept intact via quality search.
How target-size compression works
This tool re-encodes your image repeatedly, searching for the highest quality that still fits under 5000 KB. Choose the output format, JPG, WebP, PNG or AVIF, and the best match wins.
Which output format should I pick?
JPG is the safest default for photos. WebP keeps transparency and compresses well. PNG suits graphics and text. AVIF gives the smallest files in modern browsers.
Is compression private?
Compressing to 5 MB runs entirely on your device. Your image is processed locally and never uploaded.
Batch compress images to 5MB
Compress a batch of camera photos to under 5 MB each for attachments and uploads. Free, private, batch ZIP, processed entirely in your browser.
Frequently asked questions
Why compress to 5MB if I just need it under 5MB?
A 5MB target keeps the most detail while meeting email and app attachment limits with high quality.
Will a camera photo at 5MB still look sharp
Yes. At balanced or high quality 5MB retains most detail from camera RAW or JPG. Keep the original if you may re edit.
Can I batch compress many images to 5MB without uploading
Yes. Add your camera folder, pick 5MB target, and compress together. Each image is searched locally for best quality under 5MB and you can download a ZIP.
