Cloudinary’s Image resize to 250KB tool adjusts JPG, PNG, HEIC, and other image types so they meet a 250KB file-size target while preserving visual quality. Simply upload or drag in your file and the system processes it automatically. Using f_auto and q_auto, Cloudinary selects the most efficient format and quality level to hit the 250KB size limit. Perfect for websites, apps, or any workflow that requires lightweight images for faster performance and smoother user experiences.

Yes. Cloudinary’s API allows you to automate Image resize to 250KB workflows at scale. You can upload multiple images through the API and apply transformations such as q_auto, f_auto, and fl_lossy to consistently bring files down to the 250KB target. These parameters can be bundled into an upload preset to enforce size rules automatically—ideal for handling large volumes of user-uploaded images or running bulk optimization jobs without manual intervention.

To achieve a 250KB output, Cloudinary uses perceptual, visually lossless optimization that adjusts compression based on the image’s actual content. Important details—edges, contrast, and key textures—are preserved, while redundant data is reduced, resulting in little to no visible difference at standard viewing sizes. Fully lossless files may exceed 250KB; if you require pixel-perfect accuracy, formats like PNG or lossless AVIF/WebP will naturally produce larger outputs. For most photos, graphics, and marketing assets, perceptual optimization delivers a much smaller file with clean, natural visual quality. If you notice any artifacts, you can increase the quality setting slightly or reduce dimensions to stay close to the 250KB target while maintaining a crisp appearance.
