Compress image to 200 KB

A common upload ceiling

200 KB is a frequent limit for ID photos, document scans and attachments. It leaves enough room to keep good quality for a photo. Scans of text are trickier because JPEG can blur sharp edges, so check that the text is still readable in the preview.

Tips

• For scanned pages, avoid shrinking the dimensions more than necessary.
• Photos taken on phones are often several MB, so expect a big reduction.
• Need an exact size in pixels as well? Use the image resizer.

Common questions

Can I compress a scanned document this way?

Yes, but verify the text stays legible. If not, raise the limit slightly.

Does the original file change?

No. You get a new compressed copy.
