Resize Image to 2KB
A 2 KB target is extremely demanding. Simple marks and very small graphics have the best chance, while detailed photos may remain above the target or lose most of their detail. JPG and WebP can reduce dimensions automatically; PNG keeps the dimensions you select.

What It Takes to Reach a 2 KB Image
At 2 KB, format overhead and pixel count matter as much as image content, so realistic expectations are essential.
Why 2 KB Is So Difficult
Two kilobytes leaves very little space after format overhead. The fewer pixels, colours and fine details the image contains, the better the chance of getting close to the target.
Small Dimensions Matter More
At 2 KB, lowering quality alone is rarely enough for detailed images. Smaller width and height can make a much bigger difference for JPG and WebP.
Suited to Flat, Simple Artwork
Single-colour icons, solid badges and one-line labels survive a 2 KB budget best. Photographs and gradients rarely stay recognisable at this size.
Dimension Reduction as a Last Step
JPG and WebP may shrink width and height automatically once compression alone stops helping. PNG keeps the dimensions you selected instead.
PNG Colour Reduction Path
PNG files are rebuilt with a smaller palette through PNG-specific optimisation, so transparency can be kept while the byte count is pushed down.
Runs Entirely in Your Browser
The 2 KB search happens on your device, so small icons, logos and internal assets are never uploaded while you compare results.
Work Toward 2 KB Without Guessing
Load the file, set 2 KB as the target, then check what the encoder could actually reach.
Upload Your Image
Drag in a JPG, PNG or WebP up to 20 MB. A 2 KB target is so small that the final result may need much smaller dimensions than the original.
Set the 2 KB Target
Enter 2 in Target File Size and leave the unit on KB. Width and height can be set first if the asset already has a fixed size.
Process and Review
Start processing and inspect the real output on the download page. A 2 KB result is not guaranteed, so check the byte count before you rely on it.
Try an Ultra-Small 2 KB Target
Use an ultra-small 2 KB target when file size matters more than preserving detail, then check the actual result before you download it.
Questions About Making an Image This Small
What to expect when the whole budget is only two kilobytes.
Two kilobytes has to contain both the image data and the format overhead. Even a small photo can carry far more information than that, so reaching 2 KB often requires very small dimensions and heavy simplification.
Simple marks, short text, flat shapes and images with very few colours are the most realistic candidates. Detailed photographs, gradients and textured artwork usually lose a large amount of detail or remain above the target.
For JPG and WebP, yes, if compression alone cannot get close enough to 2 KB. PNG keeps the dimensions you selected and uses PNG-specific optimisation instead.
Yes. At such a small target, encoder overhead and image structure make a noticeable difference. JPG and WebP can also reduce dimensions automatically, while PNG keeps the selected width and height and may finish above 2 KB.
For JPG and WebP the target-size search is skipped because there is nothing left to chase, although the export is still generated in the format you chose and may differ from the source. PNG keeps its own optimisation route.
Every format has a floor. Headers, palettes and metadata cost bytes before any pixels are stored, so a complex image can stay above 2 KB even at the lowest settings the tool allows.
Yes. Type another KB value, switch the unit to MB, or set width and height directly. A slightly larger target such as 7 KB or 12 KB usually keeps noticeably more detail.
No. The file stays in your browser for the whole process, including the compression search, so private logos and unreleased assets are not sent to a server.
