: How to reduce the file size of an image while keeping the same dimensions My goal is to create a Kindle Cover and upload it following Amazon recommendations. The Cover Should Be: MAXIMUM: Width:1563px;

Does the file have to be saved in a specific format? Maybe you experiment saving in different formats seeing how some are lossy and may reduce the file size. Try JPG instead of PNG.

I don't know how you will use that image but reducing colors can be a solution.

I would recommend you don't use the maximum size allowed, and instead go for something a bit smaller instead.

Depending on how complex your image is, a bigger size will definitely require a loss in quality. Your true limit in this case is the 127Kb. My reasoning is: You should aim for the maximum quality you can get without passing that weight.

So if you want to keep the width/height ration of 1.6, you can go for 1000x1600px and the cover will still look good and have no visible quality loss. In my opinion, a 127Kb and 1563x2500px image is simply very, very difficult to achieve without completely ruining the quality.

Image > Image Size > then drop the resolution.

There's a read out at the top that tells you the pixel dimension. So basically can change it to an accepted size while choosing the best quality.
