Compress image to 200 KB
Photo or signature under 200 KB

Your files never leave your device: Compress image to 200 KB runs inside your browser, so nothing is uploaded, stored or seen by anyone. It is free and needs no sign-up.
200 KB is a roomy limit: enough for a clear passport photo, a full-page document photo or a certificate scan that stays readable. Many upload forms and email systems use it as the cut-off.
Photograph documents flat, in even light, with the whole page in view. Shadows and angles make a file bigger and harder to read, so a good photo needs less squeezing.

Questions and answers
- Will text in my document stay readable at 200 KB?
- Usually yes for a single page photographed clearly. Zoom into the result before you upload it; if the writing is blurry, retake the photo in better light.
- What if my file is already under 200 KB?
- Then it already meets the limit, and compressing it again would only lower its quality. Check the size in your file manager first.
- Are my files uploaded anywhere?
- No. Your browser opens and processes the files itself, and nothing is sent to our servers. You can check this yourself on the How we do it page.
- Is my original photo changed?
- No. You get a new file to download and the original stays where it is. Check the result before you replace anything.
- Is Compress image to 200 KB really free?
- Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many files you use it for.
