How to Compress a JPG to 100 KB (Free, No Quality Loss)
Getting "file must be under 100 KB" when you upload a photo to a job application, a government form, or a website? This quick walkthrough shows you how to compress a JPG to exactly 100 KB — free, online, in under a minute — without turning it into a blurry mess.
We use the free JPEG compressor at XConvert: nothing to install, no sign-up, and your files auto-delete after a few hours, so it stays private. The trick is the "Specific file size" mode — type your exact target (100 KB), leave Auto Scale on, and it does the rest. In this demo a 3.6 MB photo drops to about 93 KB and still looks great.
