Why compress to 500KB?
A 500KB limit leaves room for large, detailed photos, such as listing, portfolio and gallery images.
How the 500KB target is reached
- Quality is lowered until the file is 500KB or less, never below quality 30.
- If that is not enough, the image is scaled down step by step; the final dimensions are shown.
- 500KB is counted with 1 KB = 1,000 bytes, so the file also passes forms that count 1 KB as 1,024 bytes.
Frequently asked questions
Can every image be compressed to 500KB?
Most can. Large or very detailed photos are scaled down to reach 500KB, and you see the final dimensions. If a file still can’t reach it, you get the smallest result and a note.
Is PixListing free?
Yes. PixListing is free to use and needs no account. Files can be up to 25 MB, 20 images per batch.
