Get an image under 500 KB
500 KB is a generous cap. It shows up on email attachments, content management systems, and web pages where you want a photo that loads fast without looking compressed. At this target a photo keeps essentially all of its quality.
Drop your image in and ResizePad trims the quality only slightly to land under 500 KB. For most photos that is a barely perceptible change, and the dimensions stay untouched, so you keep a large, sharp image that is simply lighter to load or send.
A good default for the web
If you are adding a photo to a blog post, a listing, or a slide, 500 KB is a sensible ceiling. It keeps pages quick without the visible softness of a hard cap. When you need it smaller for a strict form, drop to 200 KB or 100 KB instead.
At 500 KB JPG and WebP look almost identical, so pick JPG for the widest support unless your site prefers WebP for speed. To crop the image first, use the crop tool, then set the target size.
