# Resize Image to 10 KB

ToolSugar shrinks an image until the file is at or under 10 KB, or 10000 bytes, right in your browser. A limit this tight usually forces smaller dimensions as well as lower quality, so a large photo often ends near a few hundred pixels wide. The result shows the final size, and nothing is uploaded.

Runs on your device

## How it works

1. Add one JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC image.
2. Check that the target says 10 KB, or type a different limit.
3. Press Resize and let the tool search for the best quality that fits.
4. Read the size and dimensions on the result, then download it.

## Key facts

- **Target**: At or under 10 KB, counted as 10000 bytes
- **Output**: JPG by default, with PNG and WebP available
- **Where it runs**: In your browser, with no upload

## Common uses

- Upload a thumbnail to an old government portal with a tiny limit.
- Fit a small ID photo into a form that caps files at 10 KB.
- Make a very light placeholder image for an email.

## Questions

### How small will the picture get at 10 KB?

It depends on detail. A busy phone photo often ends up around 200 to 350 pixels wide, while a simple graphic can stay larger. Crop tightly first to keep the important part bigger.

### Will the file really be under the limit?

Yes. The tool measures every encoded attempt in bytes and only returns one at or below 10000 bytes. If nothing usable fits, you get an error instead of an oversized file.

### Does it change the width and height?

Only when it has to. It lowers JPG or WebP quality first, and the picture shrinks only if quality alone cannot reach the target. The result shows the final dimensions.
