Compress Image to 200 KB

Two hundred kilobytes is a common upload ceiling. The panel opens on that budget so the first run starts from it.

Two hundred kilobytes is the standard ceiling for job boards, university portals and support tickets. The target comes preselected as a custom value, it is on screen before the first press, and the Result figure proves whether it landed. For JPEG and WebP, quality gives way before dimensions do; PNG is measured rather than chased.

  • Upload the picture; 200 KB sits in the custom target field.
  • Press Apply Compression without changing anything else for a first attempt.
  • Compare the Result figure with the budget the site gave you.
  • Download from the header if it passes, or adjust and re-run.

What the options do

Target File Size
Two hundred kilobytes is typed in for you. For JPEG and WebP, the search explores quality at full size first and steps down through smaller pixel sizes only if the floor cannot fit the budget.
Reading the figures
Original is what you uploaded, Result is what the run wrote, and Saved is the difference between them. None of the three is guessed; each is read from real files after every encode.

Type the exact number the portal demands, press apply once, and check Result before anything else. When it clears the budget the file is ready; when it does not, the honest size on screen tells you how much more has to go.

Common questions

Why is 200 KB entered as a custom value?
Because the chip row offers round presets such as 100 KB and 500 KB, and two hundred sits between them. The field holds the exact figure so the first run already searches for the right number.
Will it always reach exactly 200 KB?
No encoder promises an exact byte count. The search targets the largest quality that fits under the limit; if nothing clean fits, it says the target was missed and prints the size it produced instead.
Does this run on a server?
No. Encoding happens in this browser tab with your file in memory, so nothing about the picture is transmitted anywhere. The controls and results do not depend on a connection.
