Where 200 KB is asked for

200 KB is the upper limit on many newer portals, including several national entrance exams that allow photos from 10 KB up to 200 KB. Most phone photos are 2 to 5 MB, so they still need shrinking by 10 to 25 times; the tool first lowers the pixel size to a sensible size and only then the quality.

How to compress a photo to 200 KB

  1. Tap Choose a photo and pick it from your gallery or files.
  2. If the form gives a pixel size (for example 200 × 230), type it in Width and Height; otherwise leave them empty.
  3. Keep Maximum KB at 200. If the form also gives a minimum, type it in Minimum KB.
  4. Tap Make my file and download the JPG.

How the tool reaches the size

JPEG files get smaller in two ways: fewer pixels, or lower quality. Lower quality first blurs fine detail and then shows blocky patches, so the tool tries quality first only down to about 55%, and if the file is still above 200 KB it reduces the pixel size step by step. When you fix the width and height, only the quality can change, and the tool searches for the highest quality that stays under 200 KB.

The limit is counted safely: "200 KB" can mean 2,00,000 bytes or 2,04,800 bytes depending on the website, so the file is made smaller than both. See KB, MB and bytes for why this matters.

Worked example

A 4.2 MB phone photo of 3024 × 4032 pixels, with width 200 and height 230 typed in and maximum 200 KB, is cropped to the 200:230 shape, scaled down, and saved at the highest JPEG quality that fits. For a plain light background the result is usually 30 to 45 KB at 90% quality or more.

Questions people ask

Will compressing to 200 KB reduce the quality?
Only as much as needed. The tool searches for the highest quality that still fits under 200 KB, and reduces the pixel size only when quality alone is not enough.
Is my photo uploaded to your server?
No. The photo is opened and saved by your own browser. You can switch off mobile data after the page loads and the tool still works.
My form says between 20 and 200 KB. What do I do?
Type the smaller number in Minimum KB. If the clean file comes out smaller, the tool adds harmless padding so it passes the minimum check without changing the picture.
Can I compress a PNG or an iPhone HEIC photo?
Yes. PNG, WEBP, JPG and iPhone HEIC photos all work, in any browser (outside Safari, a HEIC photo takes a few seconds to open). The result is saved as JPG unless you choose another format.
