Compress an image to 200 KB
200 KB is the comfortable target — property listings, marketplace uploads, documentation systems. Nearly any photo up to ~2000 px fits under it without visible compromise.
The compressor opens in target-size mode at 200 KB and finds the highest quality that fits. For most images the result is indistinguishable from the source at a fraction of the size.

How it works
Select an image; it decodes locally.
Choose an output format and quality, or set a target file size.
Compare original and compressed versions with the wipe slider.
Download — the size you saw is exactly the size you get.
What the tool does
- Quality slider with live re-encode and exact byte counts
- Target-size search that reports honestly when the target is unreachable
- JPEG, WebP, and PNG output
- Wipe-style before/after comparison at matched zoom
- Metadata stripped by default via clean re-encode
How the result is verified
The compressed bytes are re-decoded to confirm the image parses and dimensions match, and the displayed byte size is measured from the actual output blob.
Frequently asked questions
Will I actually see any quality difference?
For photos under ~2000 px, almost never at this target. Use the wipe slider to compare pixel-for-pixel before downloading.
What if my image is already smaller than 200 KB?
The tool reports when compression doesn't help — keeping the original is sometimes the correct output, and it tells you so.
