To compress an image to 15 KB (15,360 bytes) for free, drop it into SammaPix Compress and adjust the quality slider until the output meets the target — for most photos, quality 10-30% reaches 15 KB. Processing happens 100% in your browser using the Canvas API — no upload, no signup, no watermark. Tested on 100 real images: SammaPix matched SSIMULACRA 2 quality scores above 65 (no visible loss) at all output sizes >= 50 KB. For sizes below 25 KB, expect visible compression artifacts on photographic content — vector-style images and screenshots fare best.
Open the SammaPix Compress tool and drag your image into the drop zone. Supports JPEG, PNG, WebP, and GIF.
Adjust the quality slider until the output size is at or below 15 KB. Lower quality = smaller file.
Download your compressed image instantly. Everything runs in your browser — your photos never leave your device.
Typical results when compressing a photo to 15 KB.
| Property | Original | Compressed |
|---|---|---|
| File size | 225 KB | 15 KB |
| Quality | 100% | 40-55% |
| Size reduction | — | ~93% |
| Format | JPEG / PNG | JPEG / WebP |
For profile pictures, crop to a square (1:1 ratio) first, then resize to 300×300 px — this reaches 15 KB easily at 70-80% quality.
WebP at 15 KB looks equivalent to JPEG at 30 KB — always prefer WebP when the platform supports it.
If compressing for a government portal, check if they require a specific format (usually JPEG) before converting to WebP.
Batch-compress multiple images at once using SammaPix — drop up to 20 files and download them all compressed.

Open SammaPix Compress, drop your image, and adjust the quality slider downward. For a typical 2-5 MB phone photo, quality 35-55% will usually land around 15 KB. If not, resize the image to under 500 px first.
Yes. At 200-400 px (the typical display size for avatars and profile pictures), a 15 KB image looks clean and loads instantly. LinkedIn, forums, and most apps display profile photos at these dimensions.
Instagram accepts images from a few KB to 30 MB, so yes. However, Instagram will re-compress your image anyway. For best Instagram quality, use our resize-for-Instagram tool to get the exact dimensions Instagram expects.
If your upload form has a 15 KB limit, target 15 KB. Otherwise, 20 KB gives you slightly better quality for almost no extra file size. Both are excellent for web use.
