Compress an image to 200 KB

  • Runs on your device
  • Works offline once loaded

A 200 KB image is a sweet spot for email and web pages: sharp on screen and quick to send. Add your picture, keep the 200 KB target or change it, and download the smaller file. Nothing is uploaded.

How it works

  1. Drop your images.
  2. Set a target size or choose a quality level.
  3. Check the preview and download.

Why use it

  • Target of 200 KB preset, editable.
  • MozJPEG and OxiPNG engines.
  • Before and after preview.
  • Bulk with ZIP.

Questions and answers

How much quality is lost?

Very little for a typical phone photo, since the target is generous.

Can I compress many photos at once?

Yes, add them all and download a ZIP.
