About compressing to this size
200 KB is a typical cap for scanned marksheets, caste or income certificates, and address proofs on application portals. It keeps small print readable on a full A4 page photo.
How it gets to exactly 200 KB: the tool tries different JPEG quality levels and keeps the highest one whose file is still under 200 KB, so the result usually lands just below the limit (for example 180–200 KB). Only if quality alone can’t get small enough does it shrink the image dimensions, a little at a time.
Tip: If a multi-page document must be one file, compress each page image, then join them with Image to PDF.
Need a different size? 10 KB · 20 KB · 30 KB · 50 KB · 100 KB · 500 KB — or type any number into the “Target size” box above.
Frequently asked questions
How do I reduce a photo to 200 KB?
Drop the photo into the box above. The target is already 200 KB; download the result when it appears. It will be 200 KB or slightly less.
Will my photo look blurry at 200 KB?
The tool always keeps the best quality that fits. Faces and documents stay clear at common form sizes; very large photos may be scaled down slightly to fit.
Why is my file a little smaller than 200 KB?
Portals reject files even 1 byte over the limit, so the tool stays safely under 200 KB instead of going over.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. The compression runs entirely in your browser, so your photos never leave your phone or computer.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes — open this page on your phone, tap the box, pick a photo from your gallery and download the result.
