Quick answer

The shortest useful answer

If the requirement is a file-size limit, set the target in KB or MB instead of guessing a quality percentage. Image Tools DOKUNTAG can prepare a smaller output toward that target on the device, then you review the result before saving it as a new file.

How to

Step by step

  1. Choose the photo you want to prepare.
  2. Enter the target file size in KB or MB.
  3. Keep the dimensions you need, or resize first when the destination also has a pixel requirement.
  4. Review the prepared result and save it as a new file.

Why can the final file size differ slightly from the target?

Image compression depends on the photo itself. Detailed textures, noise, transparency, dimensions, and output format all affect how small the file can become without excessive quality loss. A target is therefore a preparation goal, not a promise that every image can land on the exact same byte count.

Should you resize the pixels before reducing KB?

Only when the destination also has a dimension requirement or the source image is much larger than you need. Reducing unnecessary pixel dimensions can make a smaller file easier to achieve. If the destination requires exact dimensions, solve the dimensions first and file size second.

Does the photo leave the device?

Image Tools DOKUNTAG performs its photo-processing workflow on the device. The photo is not uploaded to DOKUNTAG servers for this processing, and an account is not required for core use.
