Frequently Asked Questions

Is 400KB good for eCommerce product photos?

400KB is a solid choice for eCommerce product images. It is small enough to load reasonably quickly but large enough to maintain excellent quality at standard display sizes (600×600 pixels). For zoom-enabled product images, 400–600KB provides good detail when customers zoom in on product features.

What image resolution achieves the best quality at 400KB?

A 1200×1200 pixel product photo at 400KB achieves approximately JPEG quality 78–85 — excellent for web display. A 1600×1200 pixel image at 400KB achieves quality 74–80. A 800×800 pixel image at 400KB achieves quality 88–94, appearing near-original quality.

How does 400KB compare to raw camera output?

A typical smartphone JPEG is 3–8MB. A DSLR JPEG export is 5–15MB. At 400KB, you are compressing by 90–97%, which sounds extreme but at web display sizes the quality loss is often imperceptible. The key is that web images are displayed at much lower resolution than the source photo was captured at.

Does this tool change image dimensions?

No — pixel dimensions are preserved exactly. Only JPEG quality is adjusted to meet the 400KB limit. For systems that also specify pixel dimensions alongside the file size limit, resize your image first and then compress here.

Can I compress RAW camera exports to 400KB?

RAW files themselves are not supported, but if you export your RAW to JPEG first (from Lightroom, Capture One, or your camera software), you can then upload that JPEG here. A typical 20–25MB RAW export at quality 90+ compressed to 400KB will achieve excellent visual quality for web delivery and digital portfolios.
