Compress Image to 200 KB

Make every image under 200 KB for a website, a listing or an email, keeping it sharp. JPG, PNG and WebP, up to 50 at once, compressed in your browser.

Compression

Each image as good as it can be under the size: JPG and WebP lower their quality, PNG its colors, and a picture is made smaller in pixels only if that isn't enough. Images already under it stay as they are.

Runs in your browser. Nothing you enter is uploaded.

How to use

This page compresses pictures to under 200 KB each, in your browser, which is the size that keeps a web page quick and an email small without the pictures looking compressed.

  1. Add your images, as many as 50: drop them, choose them or paste them.
  2. Target size is on and set to 200 KB. The number can be changed for a site that allows 250 or 300.
  3. The page works through quality levels from high to low and stops at the first that fits. At 200 KB almost every photo fits at its full width and height, so pixels are rarely touched; when a very large photo needs it, the row says so.
  4. Each row reports the result. A file already under 200 KB comes back untouched, and the row tells you.
  5. Use the before-and-after view to check a picture, then download it, or the whole batch as one ZIP.

Why 200 KB? Page-speed tools flag images above it, email services reject attachments that add up to tens of megabytes, and property, auction and classifieds sites often state it as their maximum. A 1,600-pixel-wide photo at good quality fits with room to spare, which is wider than most web layouts show.

Tips for the smallest files that still look right: give the page JPG or WebP for photos and PNG for screenshots and graphics; turn on Dithering only when a PNG gradient shows bands; and for a gallery, add every picture at once and download the ZIP.

Nothing is uploaded, so the photos of a property or a product stay on your computer until you choose where to send them.

Frequently asked questions

Will my photos be reduced in pixels at 200 KB?

Rarely. A photo up to about 1,600 pixels wide usually fits under 200 KB at a quality that looks like the original. Only a very large or very detailed photo gets scaled down, and only as far as needed; the row shows the new size when that happens.

Is 200 KB small enough for a website?

For most pages, yes. Under 200 KB an image loads in a fraction of a second on mobile data, and page-speed tools stop flagging it. For a hero image that spans the whole screen, save a WebP as well, which is smaller still at the same quality.

How many photos can I send by email under this limit?

Most email services allow 20 to 25 MB per message, so about a hundred photos at 200 KB each. Compress them here, download the ZIP, and attach either the ZIP or the files inside it.
