Compress a photo to under 200 KB
“Maximum 200 KB” is the classic limit for ID photos, CV pictures, scanned ID cards and proof documents in online procedures. The 200 KB limit is already selected below: drop your photos and download them ready to upload.
Drop the images you want to compress
JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC · several at once
- Drop one or more photos onto the box, or press the button to choose them. JPG, PNG, WebP and iPhone HEIC photos are accepted.
- Leave the compression at under 200 KB. Keep the output as JPG if the image is for a form.
- Press the button to process them, check the before and after weight of each one, and download them one by one or in a ZIP.
How it reaches 200 KB
200 KB is enough for an ID card photographed with a phone and still readable. If the photo is of a document, crop the background first: every pixel of table or floor costs weight.
The limit is counted strictly: 200 KB means 200,000 bytes, so the file is accepted whether the website counts in thousands or in 1,024s.
What it cannot do
Very small limits force a lower resolution: a photo cannot keep 12 megapixels in 50 KB. If an image could only reach the target by becoming unrecognizable, you get the smallest reasonable version and a note saying so.
Frequently asked questions
Can I compress several photos at once?
Yes. Drop all of them together: each one is compressed to under 200 KB separately and you can download them one by one or in a ZIP.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. They are processed by your browser and never sent to a server.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, including iPhone HEIC photos straight from the gallery.
Can I pick a different limit?
Yes. Choose another option in Compression, or “Custom maximum weight” to type any value in KB.
