Compress image to 200 KB
Two hundred kilobytes buys real detail: fabric texture, readable small print on a scanned certificate, a product photo that survives a zoom click. This page is preset to 200 KB — add your images and take the quality as high as the limit allows.

When 200 KB is the right target
- Portals with a 200 KB ceiling. Many admissions and licensing systems set their photo and document limit here.
- Scanned documents saved as images. A certificate or transcript at 200 KB stays legible in a way a 50 KB version often does not.
- Product and listing photos. Enough room for a clean, well-lit shot that still loads quickly.
- Portfolio thumbnails. Designers and photographers use ~200 KB as a quality-versus-speed compromise.
Quality first, dimensions second
At a 200 KB target, the compressor's first move is a quality search at full resolution, and for most photos that is where it ends — your image keeps every pixel, just encoded more efficiently. Dimensions only shrink when the image is extremely detailed (heavy noise, foliage, crowds) or started out enormous. The result line under each image tells you which path was taken and the final pixel size, so there are no surprises when a portal also enforces a dimension rule.
A note on scanned documents
If your "image" is really a document, a flat, evenly lit scan beats a photograph of paper: shadows and perspective force the encoder to spend bytes on grey gradients instead of letters. Scan in grayscale if the portal accepts it — dropping colour can halve the size at the same sharpness, and what remains fits easily under 200 KB.
