Compress to 200 KB without uploading anything
Drop your images and each one comes back at or below 200 KB, at the best quality that fits. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you ask for it.
Drop images here
Or click to choose them. Several at once is fine, and you can drop more later.
Target 200 KB. You can change this once your images are in.
Target
Everything re-runs as you change it
JPEG cannot be transparent, so whatever was see-through gets this colour.
Optional. A picture is shrunk on its own anyway when quality alone cannot reach the target, but capping it here usually looks better than letting the quality drop that far.
More than one image comes back as a single .zip.

How the size is hit
An encoder takes a quality and answers with a size, never the other way round. So the page tries a quality, looks at the result and halves what is left to search, about nine times per image. Each row says which quality it settled on.
When quality is not enough
A large photo pushed towards a small target runs out of quality before it runs out of pixels. Below 30% the search stops lowering quality and starts shrinking the picture instead, which looks better at the same size. A row that still could not get there says so rather than pretending.
Where 200 KB is the limit
A good size for images on a website or in a marketplace listing: large enough to look sharp on a laptop screen, small enough to load quickly on a phone.
For the best result
For web use, a longest edge of 1600 pixels at 200 KB looks sharp on most screens.
Questions people ask
Is 200 KB a good size for website images?
For a large photo, yes. Smaller images such as thumbnails should be well below that.
Which format is best at 200 KB?
WebP gives the best quality for the size and works in every current browser. Choose JPG where an upload form insists on it.
Are my images uploaded to compress them?
No. Every attempt at the target size is encoded by your own browser, so the picture never leaves your device.
How does it hit the exact size?
An encoder takes a quality and answers with a size, never the other way round. The page tries a quality, looks at the result and halves what is left to search, about nine times per image.
What if the target is too small for the picture?
Below 30% quality the search stops lowering quality and shrinks the picture instead, which looks better at the same size. A result that still cannot get there says so.
