Why not just use a quality slider?

A slider means guessing and re-trying. With a target size you get the best quality that fits under 200KB on the first attempt, with the exact byte count shown.

Does compressing to 200KB remove photo metadata?

Yes. The image is re-encoded, so camera metadata such as GPS location isn't carried over — usually a privacy bonus for uploads.

Is the Compress Image to 200KB free to use?

Yes. Compress Image to 200KB is completely free with no sign-up, no watermarks and no usage limits.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Compress Image to 200KB runs entirely in your browser — your files and data never leave your device.

Does it work on mobile and offline?

Yes. It works in any modern browser on desktop or mobile, and the toolkit is a PWA that keeps working offline after your first visit.

Compress Image to 200KB

Reduce an image to under 200KB for visa, passport and online application uploads, keeping as much resolution and quality as the limit allows. Free, private, no upload.

How it works

1
Add your photo
Drop a JPG, PNG or WebP — one or many. It's read in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
2
Set the target size
Type the maximum in KB or MB, or tap a preset like 20KB, 50KB or 100KB. Add a minimum if the form has one.
3
Let it fit automatically
The tool finds the highest JPG quality that fits, and shrinks the dimensions only when quality alone isn't enough.
4
Check and download
Each result shows its exact size in KB and bytes, so you know it will pass the upload check.

Common uses

Prepare a visa or passport photo for a portal that caps uploads around 200–240KB.
Upload scanned certificates or statements that must stay legible under 200KB.
Shrink product or listing photos for a marketplace with a per-image limit.
