Compress an image to under 200 KB
200 KB is a common upload limit, and a sensible size for photos on a web page or in an email. Drop your photos in and get the best-looking copy of each that fits.
Saved as JPG, without the location and camera details.
Getting a photo under 200 KB
At 200 KB many photos keep most of their size. How much depends on the picture: smooth skies and walls compress well, while leaves, gravel and fine patterns take more bytes, so a busy photo comes out smaller than a calm one.
For a web page, 1600 or 2048 pixels on the longest side is usually plenty. Choosing one of those leaves the rest of the 200 KB for quality, which looks better than a full-size picture squeezed hard.
FAQ
Who asks for images under 200 KB?
Application and registration forms, website builders that warn about large images, and anyone putting a handful of photos into one email.
How good does a photo look at 200 KB?
Good on a screen. Many photos fit at close to full size with a slightly lower quality, and the comparison shows how close to the original it stays.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Every image is compressed inside your browser, and nothing about it, not even its name, is sent anywhere.
Converting whole folders on a Mac?
Image Converter turns whole folders of photos into JPG, PNG or HEIC at the quality you choose, and lets you decide whether the camera details and location travel with the copies. It does not aim for a file size; for that, this page is the tool.
