Features
Private by design
Your photo never leaves your device. Compression happens in the browser, so it is safe for ID photos and documents.
Smart quality search
The tool searches for the highest JPEG quality that fits under 200KB instead of using one fixed setting, so faces and text stay sharp.
Works on phones
Pick a photo straight from your gallery or camera on Android or iPhone and download the result.
When to use it
Passport and visa photos
Many passport and visa portals accept up to 200KB, which keeps a sharp, well-lit portrait.
Website images
Product and blog images around 200KB load fast and help your page speed scores.
Document scans
A one-page scan at 200KB stays readable for official uploads.
Frequently asked questions
How do I compress an image to exactly 200KB?
Upload the image and the tool reduces it to 200KB or just under. Exactly 200KB is rarely possible, but anything below the limit is accepted by upload forms.
Will the image lose quality?
Some detail is lost when a large photo is squeezed to 200KB, but the tool keeps the highest quality that fits. Starting from a well-lit, in-focus photo gives the best result.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. The image is processed in your browser with JavaScript and is never sent to a server, so it stays private.
Which formats are supported?
JPG, JPEG, PNG and WebP. The result is saved as JPG, the format most forms accept.
Is 200KB enough for a good photo?
Yes. At 200KB a typical portrait or product photo looks almost identical to the original on a screen, which is why many portals pick this limit.
Can I compress several images?
Yes, one after another. Each image is compressed separately in your browser, so you can do a photo, a signature and a scanned certificate in a row without waiting for uploads.
Does compressing remove location data?
Yes. Re-encoding the image drops most hidden metadata such as GPS location and camera details, which is a small bonus for privacy when you upload a photo to a public form.
