Compress JPEG to 200KB
Compressing a JPEG to 200KB keeps near-transparent visual quality for most photos up to ~2000px — ideal for application portals, LinkedIn-style profile photos and fast web pages. The best quality under 200KB is found automatically, entirely in your browser.

What fits in 200KB — realistic expectations
200KB is a generous budget: a 1600–2000px photo typically fits at 70–85% quality, where compression is essentially invisible in normal viewing. Use it when a portal allows it — your photo simply looks better than at tighter caps.
It's also a sensible self-imposed cap for website images: under 200KB per photo keeps pages fast without visible compromise. For maximum web efficiency, consider converting to WebP instead, which fits even more quality into the same bytes.

Frequently asked questions
Is 200KB good enough for print?
No — print needs far more data (typically 1–10MB). 200KB targets are for screens, portals and web pages, where they look excellent.
Should I use 200KB or WebP for my website?
If you control the site, WebP at quality ~80 usually beats a 200KB JPEG on both size and appearance. The 200KB JPEG target is best when a system specifically requires JPG.
Is my image uploaded to compress it?
No. The size search and compression run entirely in your browser — your image never leaves your device.
