Why 200KB is the magic number

Countless upload forms — visa portals, job boards, exam registrations and legacy CMS platforms — cap images at 200KB, and a phone photo is 3–8MB, so it gets rejected instantly. This tool re-encodes your image at the highest quality that still fits under 200KB, so it sails through the upload without looking blurry. Everything runs in your browser, so even sensitive ID scans stay on your device.

Frequently asked questions

How do I compress an image to exactly under 200KB?

Upload your photo and the tool automatically searches for the highest JPEG quality that lands under 200KB. If needed, it gently reduces the dimensions too, so you always get a file that passes the limit.

Will compressing to 200KB make my photo blurry?

No visible blur in most cases. We keep the original dimensions and only lower quality as much as the 200KB target requires — and downscale as a last resort.

Is it safe to compress a passport or ID photo here?

Yes. Compression happens entirely in your browser. Your image is never uploaded, so confidential documents never leave your computer.
