Compress image to 200KB

How to compress an image to 200KB

1. Select Choose files, or drop a JPG, PNG or WebP image on the box.
2. The tool aims for under 200KB on its own. It tests up to eight quality levels and keeps the sharpest result that fits.
3. If quality alone cannot reach 200KB, it shrinks the image in small steps until it does.
4. Select Download. The result is named with -compressed so your original stays untouched.

When you need 200KB

A 200 KB limit shows up on visa and immigration sites, marketplace listings, and upload forms for documents and IDs. It leaves enough room for a clear, medium-sized photo.

What the tool does to your image

JPG and WebP files are re-saved at a lower quality, starting at 95 percent and going down to 40 percent if needed. PNG files cannot be compressed by quality alone, so they are saved as WebP, which keeps transparency and is usually much smaller. If an image is still too large at the lowest quality, its width and height are reduced by 15 percent at a time, and you can see the final pixel size in the result row.

The page shows the size before and after, so you can check that the file is under 200KB. Very small images that are already under 200KB are still re-saved at high quality, which is usually a little smaller.

Tips

• Scanned documents compress well. Use a clean, straight scan for the best result.
• If a site also asks for exact pixel size, resize the image afterwards.
• Smaller limit? Try compress to 100KB.
• For more control, use the full image compressor.
• To change dimensions first, try the image resizer.
