Cloudinary’s Compress resize image to 500KB utility resizes JPG, PNG, HEIC, and other formats down to 500KB or less without losing quality. Just drop in your file or click to upload and the tool begins compressing on its own. With q_auto and f_auto including AVIF/WebP images remain visually appealing and fast-loading. Great for media-heavy platforms or mobile-first apps that need faster load speeds and better UX.
Cloudinary’s API doesn’t include a built-in parameter to directly limit an image to an exact file size like 500 KB. However, you can achieve a similar result by programmatically adjusting quality, format, and dimensions through transformations. Using options such as f_auto, q_auto, and fl_lossy, Cloudinary’s intelligent media optimization automatically applies AI-driven analysis to balance visual quality and file size for each image. For stricter control, you can iteratively fine-tune transformations in your workflow until the output size meets your target.
To target 500KB, we run perceptual, visually lossless optimization that adapts to the image content. Visible quality change is minimal and typically absent at normal sizes, as we preserve edges, textures, and vital details while removing redundancy. Depending on the source, lossless output may exceed 500KB; when exact fidelity is mandatory, choose PNG or lossless AVIF/WebP and allow for bigger files. For most photographic and marketing materials, perceptual optimization yields a compact asset with no meaningful visual difference. If you notice artifacts, raise the quality slightly or scale dimensions a little to stay close to 500KB and keep the look consistent.
