This page opens the compressor with 200 KB selected. The tool searches for the highest quality that still fits under 200 KB, so the saved copy ends close to the limit rather than well short of it. Pixel size changes only if that search fails.
If you need more detail than 200 KB keeps, step up to 500 KB and compare the two copies side by side before you choose which to send.
How to compress a photo to a target size
- Drop one or more photos onto the box (or tap it to choose).
- Pick the maximum size the website or form allows.
- Download each photo, or all of them as a ZIP.
Questions
Why does the file land close to 200 KB?
The tool tries quality levels until it finds the highest one that still fits, so the copy ends near the limit. A much smaller file would throw away quality the limit did not require.
Can I compress a PNG to 200 KB?
Yes. PNG is lossless and cannot be squeezed to a target size, so the tool saves the photo as a JPEG, or as a WebP when it has transparency. Your original PNG is not changed.
Will my photos be uploaded?
No. The compression runs in your browser with the canvas API. Your photos never leave your device, which is also why it is fast.
How does it hit an exact size?
It tries different quality levels (a binary search) until the file is just under your target. If even low quality is too big, it also reduces the pixel dimensions a little at a time.
Why did my PNG turn into a JPG or WebP?
PNG is lossless, so it cannot be squeezed to a target size. Photos are re-encoded as JPEG. Images with transparency become WebP so the transparent areas survive; where your browser cannot save WebP, they become PNG instead.
Is the location data removed?
Yes, from every re-encoded photo: drawing it on a canvas leaves out its GPS location and camera details. With Best for each photo, a photo already under your limit is handed back unchanged and keeps its metadata. Use Remove photo location for that.
