Frequently Asked Questions
Why 150KB instead of 100KB or 200KB?
150KB is the sweet spot for graphics with lots of color or fine detail — landscapes, portraits, illustrations — where 100KB would lose subtlety.
Does Instagram accept 150KB photos?
Yes, Instagram accepts photos as small as a few KB. Uploading at 150KB ensures your image survives Instagram's re-compression with maximum quality.
Can I use this for Facebook ads?
Absolutely. Facebook recommends keeping ad creatives under 1MB, and 150KB performs beautifully without sacrificing visual quality.
Will the colors look accurate?
Yes. Our compressor preserves the full sRGB color profile, so colors look identical to the original.
