Compress Image to 5KB
Free tool to compress or reduce any JPG, PNG or WebP image to 5KB online. Runs 100% in your browser – your photos are never uploaded. Perfect for exam & job-application forms.
Need a photo or document under 5KB? Drop your image above and imageto10kb tunes the quality — and the resolution if needed — until the file lands at or under exactly 5KB. Nothing is uploaded; all compression happens on your own device.
Whether you want to reduce a photo to 5KB, resize a JPG to 5KB, or shrink a PNG for an online form, imageto10kb does it in seconds. Unlike a plain quality slider, it keeps testing settings until the file is at or just under 5KB, so you never guess or re-export. Because it runs in your browser, it even works offline once the page has loaded.

- Open imageto10kb. Drag your photo onto the box above, or click to choose a JPG, PNG or WebP file from your device.
- Set the target to 5 KB. Type 5 in the target-size box or tap the 5 KB preset. You can also lock exact pixel dimensions if your form requires them.
- Click Compress. imageto10kb re-encodes the image right in your browser, automatically searching for the highest quality that still stays under 5 KB.
- Download. Check the before/after preview, then download your 5 KB image, ready to upload anywhere.
