How to Compress PNG to 100KB

  1. Tap 100 KB or type your own size.
  2. Keep Save as on PNG if you need the transparent background. Choose WEBP for an even smaller file that is still transparent.
  3. Add one or many PNG images.
  4. Download the smaller PNG files.

Why PNG Files Are So Big

PNG is a lossless format. It saves every pixel exactly, which is great for logos, screenshots, stickers and text, but it means the file cannot be shrunk by lowering quality the way a JPG can. The main way to reduce the size of a PNG is to lower its width and height. The tool does this in small steps and stops as soon as the file fits your limit, so the picture stays as big as possible.

Tip: if your PNG is a normal photo without transparency, choose JPG in Save as. A photo saved as JPG is often 5 to 10 times smaller than the same photo as PNG.
