How to Get Your Image Under 200KB

Follow these steps to compress any image to under 200KB while maintaining great visual quality:

Select your images

Use the tool at the top of this page — the 200KB target is preset — and select up to 20 images.

Choose your output format

JPEG and WebP support automatic quality adjustment down to 35%. PNG retains transparency and may exceed the target. 1 KB = 1000 bytes.

Check the result before downloading

Look for Target met. If the file is still too large, adjust the dimensions, format or limit. The tool does not change your chosen dimensions to force a smaller file.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I compress an image to 200KB without losing quality?

Output quality depends on the image and requested size. Compare the result before downloading. If the target cannot be met, adjust your dimensions, format or limit.

Why is 200KB a common target for web images?

Google's Core Web Vitals guidelines recommend keeping page-weight low for good LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) scores. Images are typically the biggest contributor to page weight. At 200KB, a photo loads in about 0.3–0.4 seconds on average mobile connections.
