Compress image to 200 KB

Drop a photo and get a file at or under 200 KB, at the best quality that fits. Add exact pixels if the form asks for them.

Exact pixel size and other options
or drop images here to get them under 200 KBJPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC and more. Nothing is uploaded. You can also paste a screenshot.

How it works

  1. The limit is set to 200 KB; change it if your form says otherwise, or add a minimum.
  2. Open the options to add an exact pixel size when the rule gives one.
  3. Drop the images. The ruler under each shows where the result landed against the limit.
  4. Download one, or all as a ZIP.

Who needs 200 KB

Two hundred kilobytes sits just under the 240 KB ceiling of the US visa photo upload and inside the limits of many embassy and immigration portals. Those systems also demand a square photo of 600 to 1200 pixels, so the typical job is to crop square, resize, and then land under the byte limit.

  • Visa and immigration photo uploads
  • Scanned documents and certificates
  • Email attachments with strict limits

What to expect at 200 KB

A square 600-pixel JPG almost never needs more than 120 KB, so the search usually finishes at a high quality setting. If you are uploading a scanned document at 200 KB, keep the scan at 150 DPI or lower before compressing, or let the tool reduce the dimensions.

Questions

Will the result pass the US visa photo checker?

The checker tests dimensions, aspect ratio, format and size. Use the photo requirement preset for the DS-160, which sets 600 to 1200 pixels square, JPG and the 240 KB cap. It does not judge the pose, background or lighting; the official guidance covers those.

Can I compress a PDF here?

No. This tool works on images only. Scan or export each page as a JPG, compress it, and combine the pages later if the portal needs one file.

Does the file size include metadata?

The browser's encoder writes a clean file without the camera's EXIF block, which on its own can be 20 to 60 KB. Dropping it is part of why the result is smaller at the same quality.
