Compress PNG to 10KB Online
Drop your PNG — it lands at 10KB automatically, ready for upload.
100% in your browser — files never uploaded
Why 10KB is a common upload limit
A 10KB ceiling shows up across thumb impressions, tiny signature scans, and icon-style uploads. This page opens directly in Target Size mode with 10KB pre-filled, so there's no slider to guess with — drop your PNG and download.
How the 10KB target is reached
PNG has no quality knob to lower, so the engine hits the target by shrinking pixel dimensions in rounds until the file fits, re-encoding until the file lands at or just under 10KB — at this size the binary search has very little room to work with, so simple, low-detail images (signatures, line art, small icons) land cleanly while busy photos may need cropping first.
Need a different KB target?
If your portal asks for a different limit, the Target Size field stays fully editable — type any other KB value instead of the 10KB this page starts with.
Compress PNG to 10KB in One Step
This tool is Compress PNG pre-set to a 10KB target, so there's no mode to switch and no slider to guess with — drop your file and PNG has no quality knob to lower, so the engine hits the target by shrinking pixel dimensions in rounds until the file fits. Everything happens locally via the Canvas API, so photos and ID documents never leave your device.
When 10KB Is the Number a Portal Asks For
A 10KB ceiling shows up repeatedly across thumb impressions, tiny signature scans, and icon-style uploads — files over it are rejected outright, often without saying by how much. Rather than repeatedly saving at guessed quality settings, this page starts already locked to 10KB, so the first attempt is the only attempt needed. That makes this page a poor fit for photographic PNGs at very small targets — screenshots, logos and flat-color graphics reach small sizes cleanly, but a photo saved as PNG may need converting to JPG first to hit tight limits without losing resolution.
Switching Targets or Formats
If your form specifies a different KB limit, the Target Size field on this page stays fully editable — type any value and the same search applies. For format conversion or batch processing multiple files, the full Compress PNG tool covers the same engine with every mode exposed.
Frequently asked questions
How do I compress a PNG to exactly 10KB?
Drop your PNG here — Target Size mode is already set to 10KB, so the tool immediately searches for the largest file that still fits under that limit.
Will my PNG be uploaded to a server?
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API — the file never leaves your device.
Can I change the target away from 10KB?
Yes — the Target Size field stays editable, so you can type any other KB value if a different portal needs it.
Will compressing to 10KB visibly hurt quality?
At this size the binary search has very little room to work with, so simple, low-detail images (signatures, line art, small icons) land cleanly while busy photos may need cropping first; the live preview shows the exact result before you download.
