When a total photo size limit is the problem
Most photo compressors ask for a quality slider, then shrink each file on its own. That helps when you only care how each photo looks. It does not help when a website, email, or form checks how much space all of the files take up together.
SizeCap is built for that second job. You choose one total size in MB or KB. The tool uses the same JPEG quality and scale for every photo so the saved files add up to your cap. The work stays in your browser. Photos are not uploaded, and you do not need an account.
Use SizeCap when
- A portal, marketplace, or application form limits the combined size of several photos, not each file.
- You need a few photos to fit an email attachment allowance and want one shared limit instead of resizing each picture by hand.
- A form asks for one JPEG under a KB limit, and you want to set that limit directly.
- You want the photos to stay on your device while they are compressed.
Choose something else when
- You need to keep PNG transparency, an animated GIF, or SVG. The photo compressor always saves JPEG, fills transparent areas with white, and uses only the first GIF frame.
- You have a PDF that must sit under a typed cap. Use the PDF compressor, or make a PDF from photos. Those pages redraw PDF pages as pictures so the file can hit a byte limit.
- Your photos are HEIC, HEIF, TIFF, RAW, or JPEG XL. SizeCap cannot open those formats.
- Each photo needs its own different quality or a different size target. SizeCap shares one quality and scale across the batch. For separate per-file caps, compress the photos one at a time.
- You need exact pixel dimensions. Resize can fit a box or a longest edge, then an optional KB cap. It will not crop to a face or replace a background.
How SizeCap counts size
The cap is the total of the JPEG files. A ZIP of those JPEGs is a little larger, so leave room if you must send an archive. SizeCap treats 1 KB as 1,024 bytes and 1 MB as 1,048,576 bytes. Some sites treat 1 MB as 1,000,000 bytes. If a limit is strict, choose a slightly lower cap here and check the file you plan to send.
Input files can be JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, or AVIF. Compression and downloads are free.

A government, exam, or visa portal with a KB limit? See photos for government forms. A tax-office receipt or scan? See files for tax offices. A government PDF? See PDFs for government forms. A website form anywhere that just says the file is too large? See how to fix that size wall here.
