Compress an image to 200 KB

200 KB is what many portals allow for a scanned document, a certificate or a full-page form, and a good size for photos on a website or in a listing: large enough for a full screen, small enough to load quickly on a mobile connection.

At 200 KB a typical phone photo keeps about 1,700 × 1,200 pixels at a quality of 72 or more, and a scanned page of text keeps about 1,400 pixels across. When the original is already smaller than 200 KB, nothing is made bigger: it is saved upright and without its metadata, at the best quality that fits in its own size.

How to get an image under the limit

  1. Upload the image: JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC from an iPhone, and more.
  2. 200 KB is already selected. Add a minimum or exact dimensions under More options if the site asks for them.
  3. Press Compress and download the result.

What the file will be

  • Under 200 KB whichever way the site counts a kilobyte.
  • As many pixels as 200 KB holds at a clean quality.
  • Without the location, date and camera data a phone stores in its photos.
  • Never larger than the original when the original already fits.

Questions about 200 KB images

The ordinary compressor has three levels and you see the size afterwards. Here you say the size first, and the file is built to land just under it, with the largest picture that fits.
Yes for printed text: in our test a full A4 page of text kept about 1,400 pixels across. If the scan is in colour but the page is black and white, it is detected and saved in greyscale, which keeps more detail in the same size.
If your site serves WebP, yes: at the same 200 KB a WebP image keeps more pixels than a JPG. For forms and e-mail, keep JPG.
Each compression uses 3 credits. Without an account you have 50 free credits a month, and a free account has 300. A failed compression uses none.
