Does this work for screenshots and PNGs, not just photos?

Yes — PNG and WebP go in too. Screenshots saved as PNG are often 1–3MB; converted to JPEG at the best quality that fits 200KB, they typically stay perfectly readable. Photos are handled the same way, with gentle downscaling only if quality alone can't reach the target.

Why is 200KB such a common image limit?

It's the default-ish middle ground across the web: support and contact forms, application portals, avatars and attachment fields settle on 200KB as small enough to store cheaply but big enough for a clear image.

Compress Image to 200KB

Q: Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. The compression runs entirely in your browser — your passport photo or signature never touches a server.

Any image — photo, screenshot or PNG — under 200KB at the best quality that fits. Compressed privately in your browser.

200KB: the internet's favorite image cap

Support tickets, contact forms, job applications, avatars — 200KB is the limit you meet everywhere, and it applies to more than photos. Screenshots are frequent offenders: saved as PNG they land at 1–3MB, and most compressors barely dent them.

This tool takes anything — JPG, PNG or WebP — and finds the highest quality that fits under 200KB, converting to JPEG where that wins and stepping dimensions down only when quality alone can't get there. The exact output size is shown per image, and batches download as one ZIP. Working specifically with photos for listings? The JPEG-focused version of this tool has tips for that.

How to use it
