Resize Image to 16 KB
A 16 KB cap is built for micro icons, placeholders, and badge graphics where speed matters more than fine texture.

16 KB Size Control for Micro Assets
Keep small UI graphics readable while hitting an ultra lean file budget.
Micro 16 KB Budget
Set a strict 16 KB limit for icons and badges so UI loads stay instant. It favors crisp edges and simple fills over heavy texture.
Edge First Clarity
Compression prioritizes hard lines, so strokes and glyphs remain legible in tiny placeholders. This keeps buttons and badges clear on dense layouts.
Flat Color Stability
Flat fills and small gradients are handled gently, reducing banding in minimal UI art. It works well for monochrome icons and simple logos.
Local and Instant
Everything runs locally in the browser, so you can export many tiny variants quickly without uploads or queues. Ideal for design sprints.
JPG or WebP Output
Pick WebP to save extra bytes or JPG for older support. Both formats can hit 16 KB fast for micro assets and placeholders.
Dimension Tuning
If the size is still high, shrink width or height a little with ratio lock on. Small pixel trims often finish the 16 KB target.
Make a 16 KB Image in 3 Steps
Upload, set the limit, and export a tiny file without fuss.
Upload a File
Drop in a JPG, PNG, or WebP. The preview appears immediately so you can aim for a 16 KB cap without guesswork.
Set 16 KB
Enter 16 in Target File Size, keep KB selected, then adjust width or format if the preview is still heavy.
Download
Download once the result meets 16 KB. If the original is already under the limit, it exports unchanged.
Create a 16 KB Image
Use 16 KB for tiny icons, badges, and placeholders. Tune format and dimensions until the preview stays crisp at a micro size.
FAQ for 16 KB Compression
Answers to common questions about 16 KB image sizing.
Simple graphics, icons, and flat illustrations compress cleanly at 16 KB. Busy photos often lose texture, so reduce dimensions or simplify the art before export to keep edges readable at a micro size.
Very small text can soften at 16 KB, especially on photos. Use bold fonts, increase contrast, and consider WebP to keep glyphs readable. Lowering dimensions slightly also helps hold clarity.
If the file does not reach 16 KB, reduce width or height a bit and keep the ratio locked. A small trim often saves more bytes than pushing quality too low, which keeps edges cleaner.
WebP often reaches 16 KB with fewer artifacts, but JPG is more compatible. Try both in the preview and keep the one that preserves edges and flat colors best for your icons and badges.
The tool keeps it unchanged and skips extra compression. This preserves the original edges while still confirming the file fits the micro budget for UI use.
Yes, exports are rebuilt without EXIF data to save space. This keeps the file lean and also removes hidden camera details that are not needed for icons.
This page exports JPG or WebP. WebP can keep transparency, while JPG cannot. If you need a transparent icon, select WebP and keep colors simple.
