600 × 600.
Under 200 KB.
Both at once.
Pixels describe how wide and tall an image is. Kilobytes describe how much storage the file uses. A small file can have the wrong pixels, and the right pixels can still produce a file that is too large.
Start with the destination’s current rules.
Copy its maximum file size, required width and height, and accepted format. Check for extra rules such as minimum size, subject placement, background color or unedited photos. LittleFit checks the requirements you enter; it does not certify acceptance by a website.
Set all three in LittleFit.
- Drop the client folder or add source images. Supported images in subfolders are included.
- Enter the maximum KB limit. LittleFit uses decimal units: 200 KB means 200,000 bytes. If a site says strictly less than 200 KB, use 194 KB for headroom.
- Choose Exact pixels and enter width and height. For this example, use 600 and 600.
- Choose JPEG if required. Transparency becomes white. Choose PNG when transparency must remain.
- In Exact pixels, use Adjust crop to reposition each image if needed. Choose Make it fit. Read the result’s size, pixels and format check, then compare the fitted image with the original.
- Save fresh copies. Use Save or manage recipes to reuse these settings next time.
A real example.
Our generated sample became a 600 × 600 JPEG at 93,560 bytes, below the 200,000-byte ceiling. These figures come from the saved LittleFit export. Your results will depend on image detail and the requested settings.

When the requirements conflict.
Exact mode crops to the requested shape, with a position you can adjust for each image, without stretching or enlarging. A source smaller than the requested crop is rejected. If the fixed pixels cannot fit the byte ceiling within LittleFit’s compression range, the app explains the conflict instead of silently shrinking the output.
A higher KB limit, smaller pixel requirement or JPEG instead of PNG may work—but only change settings the destination permits. If important content is near the edge, use Adjust crop in the preview before fitting. For official photos or documents, follow the destination’s rules about editing.
When only file size matters.
Use Flexible mode. LittleFit can reduce dimensions as well as JPEG quality to meet your limit. It preserves proportions and never enlarges the image. Preview the result: JPEG compression is lossy, and smaller pixels contain less detail.
Keep a recipe for each regular upload.
Save names you recognize, such as “Client A thumbnails” or “Client portal.” LittleFit remembers your last valid settings and active recipe when you reopen it. All recipes work in Free for up to three images per batch. Pro is $12 once for batches of up to 500.
