How can I compress a photo to under 200 KB for free?
Upload your JPEG or PNG photo to this tool. It automatically lowers the JPEG quality first, and if the file is still above 200 KB, it reduces the pixel dimensions in small steps until the output is under 200 KB. Then click Download to save the compressed file.
Does compressing to 200 KB reduce image quality?
200 KB is a more generous limit than 100 KB, so the tool usually only needs a light quality reduction to get there — most photos stay very close to the original, with dimensions only reduced for unusually large source files.
What's the difference between this and the 100 KB converter?
Both tools use the same compression engine — only the default target size differs. Use this page if your form accepts up to 200 KB; use the
100 KB converter if your form has a stricter 100 KB or lower limit. Either page also lets you change the target from its dropdown.
Is my photo uploaded to a server when I use this tool?
No. All compression happens locally in your browser using the HTML canvas API. Your photo is never uploaded, stored, or sent anywhere.
What image formats does this compressor support?
You can upload JPEG, PNG, or WEBP images. The compressed output is always downloaded as a JPEG file, since JPEG compresses photographs far more efficiently than PNG.
Can I choose a target size other than 200 KB?
Yes. Use the "Target file size" dropdown above the upload box to pick 100 KB, 150 KB, 200 KB, 300 KB or 500 KB before or after uploading your photo.
