Compressing an image to exactly 100 KB is one of those tasks that sounds trivial until you actually try it. Most compressors give you a quality slider and hope for the best — you nudge it around, re-export, check the file size, and repeat. ImgSolve does the search for you: pick your target size, drop your image, and a binary-search algorithm hunts for the highest JPEG quality that still lands under 100 KB. If quality alone isn't enough, dimensions are scaled down in 10% steps until it fits.
This exact-size target matters for job portals, exam registration forms, and government upload flows. Upload forms often reject files above a fixed KB limit with a cryptic error, and the difference between 102 KB and 98 KB can be the difference between a successful submission and starting over. Because the search runs entirely in your browser, there's no back-and-forth with a server — the result appears in a second or two, even for large batches.
Privacy is baked in, not bolted on. Your images are read into a canvas element, re-encoded, and handed back as a download link — the bytes never travel across a network. There is no upload endpoint on imgsolve.com; opening the DevTools network tab during a compression will show zero image traffic. As a side effect of canvas re-encoding, all EXIF metadata (including GPS coordinates from phone photos, camera serial numbers, and original timestamps) is stripped automatically. What you download is pure pixels.

FAQ
Will the result be exactly 100 KB?+
It will be as close to 100 KB as possible without going over. Forms that enforce a 100 KB limit reject anything above it, so the tool always errs on the safe side — expect results in the 90–99 KB range for typical photos.
What if my image can't compress that small?+
For very large or high-detail source images, quality reduction alone may not be enough. ImgSolve then scales the dimensions down in 10% steps until the target fits. If even that fails, you'll see a clear error rather than a broken file.
Are my images uploaded to a server?+
No — never. Every conversion and compression happens directly in your browser using JavaScript and the Canvas API. ImgSolve does not run an upload endpoint; there is no server that could receive your files even if we wanted one.
Does ImgSolve remove EXIF data like GPS location?+
Yes, automatically. Re-encoding an image through a canvas strips all EXIF metadata — GPS coordinates, camera model, timestamps, and any other embedded tags — as a side effect of how canvases work. The output file contains only the pixels.
