Compress an image to under 200 KB

Email attachments and many web forms allow about 200 KB. Drop a photo here to auto-fit JPEG or WebP under that cap while keeping a usable preview.

Aim for ≤ 200 KB. Quality first, then dimensions if still too large.

200 KB is a common soft limit for email clients and CMS media libraries. Hitting it automatically beats guessing export settings.

How to hit 200 KB

  1. Upload the image
  2. Choose JPEG or WebP
  3. Compress and verify the result size
  4. Download for email or the form
