Frequently Asked Questions
How does ToolsBear image compressor work?
Compression runs entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Each image is drawn onto a canvas and re-exported at a lower quality level (JPEG/WebP) or with reduced colour depth (PNG). Nothing is uploaded to any server.
What is the quality slider?
The quality slider (1–100%) controls how aggressively JPEG/WebP images are re-encoded. 80% is the recommended default — visually indistinguishable from the original for most photos while reducing file size by 50–70%.
How does Target Size mode work?
Enter a target in KB. Our binary-search algorithm starts at quality 80, checks the output size, then moves up or down until the result lands within 5% of your target. This is how we guarantee exactly 20KB, 50KB, or 200KB outputs for portal uploads.
What formats are supported?
JPG/JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF, SVG, HEIC, HEIF, AVIF, ICO, JFIF, APNG, SVGZ, XBM and more. Any file your browser can render as an image will work.
Can I convert formats while compressing?
Yes — select JPEG, PNG, or WebP in the Output Format selector before compressing. WebP is strongly recommended for web use: same visual quality as JPEG but 25–35% smaller.
Which format is smallest — JPEG, PNG, or WebP?
For photos: WebP < JPEG < PNG. WebP is the modern winner. For graphics with flat colours or transparency: PNG or WebP. For compatibility with older systems: JPEG. Use our format selector to test all three.
Can I compress multiple images at once?
Yes — drag and drop as many files as you need. They are compressed one by one and all results appear in the download panel. Click "Download All as ZIP" to get everything in one archive.
Are my images safe and private?
Completely. No data is transmitted. All processing uses your device's CPU and memory via the browser Canvas API. Close the tab and all data is gone — nothing persists on any server.
Format Comparison — Which to Choose?
| Format | Best For | Transparency | Typical Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| JPEG | Photos, ID scans, forms | No | Smallest for photos |
| PNG | Logos, screenshots, graphics | Yes | Medium |
| WebP | Web images, thumbnails | Yes | 25–35% smaller than JPEG |
| GIF | Animations, simple graphics | Yes (1-bit) | Large for photos |

Frequently Asked Questions — Compress Image to 150KB
When would I need exactly 150KB?
Some portals specify limits like 150KB for ID photos or documents where quality is important. It's also a useful intermediate target when 100KB feels too compressed but 200KB exceeds a portal's limit.
What resolution makes sense for a 150KB image?
A full-colour photo at 800×600px or 600×800px compresses neatly to 150KB in JPEG format with excellent quality. For higher resolution (1200×900px), quality remains good at 150KB.
Is ToolsBear image compressor safe and private?
Yes — all compression runs in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your images are never uploaded to any server. They never leave your device. This is faster, more private, and works offline.

Yes — ToolsBear supports batch compression. Upload multiple images, set the target to 150KB, and download all compressed results as a single ZIP file. Perfect for form uploads requiring multiple documents.
