Bring a photo under 200 KB with the detail still there
Processed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Updated on 25 Oct 2026.Two hundred kilobytes is the most forgiving of the common upload limits, and it is the one that still leaves a photograph looking like a photograph. The target search here judges each candidate by how much it still looks like the original and keeps the best one that lands under 200 KB, so you are not guessing at a slider. Compare the before and after at full size before you download: at this target the loss is usually invisible on a phone screen.
Choose one or more photos; Target size mode is on with 200 KB filled in.
Keep Output on Same format, or pick JPG if the upload form only takes JPEG.
Press Compress to find the highest quality that still fits under 200 KB.
Check Before / after at full size, then press Download.
Compress Image shrinks JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, AVIF and iPhone HEIC photos so they load faster and pass upload limits, and shows you the result before you download it. Drag the handle across the preview to compare the original with the compressed version at full size.
People use it to get a photo under the 100 KB or 200 KB limit on passport, visa, exam and government portals, to lighten images before emailing them, and to make website pictures load quickly. Quality mode starts at 78, which is usually indistinguishable from the original on a screen. Target size mode is for when a form states a limit: it tries the picture at its own size first, and only if that cannot fit does it choose the mix of size and quality that looks most like the original, never smaller than 320 pixels on the long side. The file usually lands at 95 to 100% of the limit, so you get the best picture the limit allows rather than the smallest possible file.
Metadata such as GPS location and camera details is removed by default; switch it off if you need to keep it. If a file cannot be made smaller without visible damage, the tool keeps the original and tells you. Use Resize Image when a form sets pixel dimensions rather than a file size.
The rest of the article, and all 7 questions about Compress Image, are on the Compress Image page.
No. Compression runs in your browser using your own device's processor, so the file never leaves your computer or phone and there is nothing to delete from a server afterwards. That is why an ID photo, a signature or a medical scan is safe to compress here, and why the tool keeps working once the page has loaded even if the connection drops.
Add the image, switch to Target size, type 100 and press Compress. The tool first tries the picture at its own size; if it cannot fit, it chooses the mix of size and quality that looks most like the original, never smaller than 320 pixels on the long side. The file usually lands at 95 to 100% of 100 KB, and the row says if pixels were removed.
JPG and WebP are lossy, so some detail is removed at lower quality settings. At 75 to 85 the difference is usually invisible on screens. PNG compression is lossless unless you convert it to another format. The before and after preview is shown at full size so you can judge the trade-off yourself before downloading.
Photo ko chhota karne ke liye, add the image, switch to Target size and type the limit you need, for example 100 KB.

Up to 20 files per batch, each up to 50 MB, and nothing is uploaded.
