Compressing images to 150 kB with MB2kB takes just a few steps. Here is how it works.
Drag and drop your image into the upload area above, or click to browse files from your device. MB2kB supports JPG, PNG, and WebP formats.
The target size is already set to 150 kB for this page. You can adjust it if needed by entering a different number.
Click the Compress button and wait a moment. The tool processes your image right inside your browser, so nothing gets uploaded to any server. Once it is done, compare the before and after results, then click Download to save the compressed image.
150 kB sits in a comfortable middle ground. It gives you noticeably better image quality than a 100 kB file, while still being small enough to upload quickly and meet most portal restrictions.
College and university admission portals often use 150 kB as their photo upload limit. This is especially common for state university portals, engineering entrance exam registration sites, and medical admission forms across India. The size gives enough room for a clear, properly lit photo without being unnecessarily large.
Corporate HR portals are another common use case. Many companies ask job applicants to upload a professional headshot as part of the application, and 150 kB is a typical upper limit. The same goes for employee onboarding systems and professional profile directories.
Some state government websites also use 150 kB for document uploads and profile photos on citizen service portals. If you are looking for something slightly smaller, try the compress image to 100 kB tool. If your portal allows a bit more, the compress image to 200 kB tool will give you even better quality.
At 150 kB you have more flexibility than at tighter limits like 50 kB or 100 kB. For most portrait photos at reasonable dimensions, you can expect results that look very close to the original. The compression is usually light enough that it is hard to tell the difference unless you are zooming in closely.
That said, the same rules apply here as at any file size. If your original photo is very high resolution, say 4000x5000 pixels from a DSLR camera, you will still see some quality loss when squeezing it into 150 kB. Resizing to around 400x500 pixels first will give you a sharper, better looking result at the target file size.
For professional use cases like job applications or corporate profiles, take a look at the comparison slider after compressing to make sure the result is what you need. 150 kB is generally very safe for headshots and portrait-style photos, and you should have no trouble getting a clean, submission-ready image.

Absolutely. At 150 kB with dimensions around 400x500 pixels, a headshot will look clean and professional. This is more than enough for job application portals, LinkedIn profiles, and corporate directories. The quality difference between 150 kB and the original is usually hard to notice for portrait-style photos.
Several Indian university and college admission portals set their image upload limits around 150 kB. This includes some state university portals, engineering entrance exam forms, and medical admission applications. Always check the specific requirements on the admission form, as they can vary by institution and year.
The difference depends on the image, but for most photos you will notice a visible improvement at 150 kB compared to 100 kB. Colors tend to be slightly smoother, edges look a bit sharper, and there are fewer compression artifacts. If the portal gives you the option of either size, 150 kB will almost always look better.
