Compress an image to 200KB

200KB is the typical ceiling on job portals, university applications and recruitment systems. Drop an image below and the tool will land it under that limit.

Compression happens on your device. Files are never sent to a server.

Why this works

The sweet spot for forms

At 200KB a photograph still holds a lot of detail — enough for a profile picture, a scanned certificate or a document photo to remain clearly legible. That is why recruitment platforms and school application systems tend to pick this number.

How the limit is met

The tool searches encoder quality for the best setting that fits under 200KB. Only if that is not enough does it start reducing dimensions, so a typical phone photo comes out at full resolution with no visible difference at normal viewing size.

Batch processing

You can drop in many files at once and every one of them is held to the same limit. That matters when a portal asks for a set of documents rather than a single image.

Questions

Does it work with scanned documents?

Yes. Scans are usually large because they are stored at high resolution; 200KB at a sensible pixel size stays readable for most text documents.

Can I keep the original dimensions?

Yes. Leave the Max dimension field empty and the tool will only adjust quality unless it has no other option.

Is there a file count limit?

No limit is imposed by the tool. Very large batches on a phone may be slow because everything happens in the browser's memory.
