About Compress to 500KB
At 500KB most photos keep their full pixel size or very close to it, so the change is hard to see. It suits social posts, presentations and sharing several pictures by email.
Because there is more room, Slimfile usually only needs to lower quality a little. Open the slider after compressing and zoom in with your eyes on fine textures such as hair and leaves.
Tips for this size
- Good for slides: ten 500KB images make a 5 MB deck.
- Save as JPG for the most compatible result.
- Use "All files together" to fit an email limit.
Questions
Will the image dimensions change?
Usually not by much at 500KB. Very large camera photos may be slightly reduced.
How many 500KB photos fit in a 25 MB email?
About 45, leaving a little room since email attachments grow slightly during sending.
