Compress an image to 200 KB

Drop an image and get it under 200 KB — verified byte count, honest failure if the target is out of reach.

JPG, PNG, WebP. Multiple files OK. Everything stays on this page.

Fixed target: 200 KB per image. PNG inputs are converted to JPEG (transparent areas fill white) — PNG cannot be shrunk losslessly.

How to use — step by step

Drop the image — one or many. The 200 KB cap is preset, so there's nothing to configure.
The engine tries quality first and keeps resolution longer than tighter targets do — 200 KB usually fits a marketplace-ready photo without shrinking it.
Download the result, or grab a batch ZIP. If a rare file misses the cap, the status line reports the true floor.

How it works

Two hundred kilobytes is the sweet spot most marketplace photos land in: a modern phone photo typically reaches it with quality reduction alone, keeping full pixel dimensions. The ladder measures every attempt's actual output — the number shown is the file you get. EXIF metadata (including GPS) is stripped on re-encode, and the whole job runs in browser memory on your device.

Frequently asked questions

Why 200 KB?

Marketplace photo uploads commonly accept 200 KB comfortably, which is why it's the default target on the main compressor — a photo this size displays well and still passes strict form limits. Requirements move; check the platform before uploading.

The result misses the target slightly. Why?

A byte-exact hit is rarely possible — encoders move in quality steps, not single bytes. The ladder stops as soon as a step fits under the cap, so the reported size is the real file, measured.

My PNG turned into a JPEG.

At 200 KB the conversion is gentler than at 100 KB — more of the photo's quality survives the trip to JPEG. For product shots with transparency, a 200 KB PNG is often achievable on the main compressor with dimensions reduced — this page is built for the speed of a fixed cap.

Multiple files?

Yes — each is compressed to the same 200 KB target independently, with a combined ZIP download.
