Open the 200 KB Tool →Why 200 KB?
The 200 KB limit is a common requirement for email attachments, profile photos, document uploads, and web forms. At 200 KB, images are small enough for quick loading while maintaining good visual quality for most applications.
Many platforms and systems impose 200 KB limits for user-uploaded photos. This size works well for thumbnails, avatars, and preview images while being practical for bandwidth-constrained environments.
Make pictures under 200 KB (quick start)
Open the 200 KB tool, select your image(s), and download. Everything runs in your browser—no uploads.
JPEGs under 200 KB (best for photos)
Photos compress best as JPEG. For 200 KB targets, you may need to reduce dimensions to 1200–1600 px wide and use quality 75–85. If your image is slightly over, reduce the Quality slider 1–2% at a time.
PNGs under 200 KB (logos & graphics)
PNGs are larger by design. If you have a photo as PNG, it's usually smaller and perfectly fine as JPEG. For crisp logos, try reducing dimensions 15–25% and re-compress.
Batch compress photos under 200 KB
Drop in up to 20 images, adjust once, and download individually or as a ZIP. The app pre-fills 200 KB as a target, so results stay under the limit automatically.
Tips for staying under 200 KB
- For web use, 1200–1600 px wide is ideal for most images at 200 KB.
- Prefer JPEG for photos; use PNG only when you need transparency or sharp edges.
- Use small, progressive adjustments (quality −2%, slight resize) instead of big jumps.
- Consider cropping to improve composition while reducing file size.
