About this tool
Enough for a clear photo on most forms, listings and profiles. This tool finds the best quality that fits under 200 KB, and makes the image smaller in pixels only when quality alone isn't enough. It runs in your browser, so the photo is never uploaded anywhere.
Always at or under 200 KB
The result is never over the limit: it's at or under 200,000 bytes, or the tool tells you it can't get that small. Counting a KB as 1,000 bytes keeps it under the limit on sites that count 1,024 too.
What 200 KB looks like
- A 12-megapixel phone-size photo (4.2 MB) became 197.6 KB (197,607 bytes), 1188 × 891 pixels.
- A 2400 × 957 photo (1.1 MB) became 197.5 KB (197,526 bytes), 1691 × 674 pixels.
- Both are detailed landscapes, the hardest kind to shrink. Portraits, documents and plain backgrounds keep more pixels at the same size.
Tips for 200 KB
- At 200 KB photos look sharp on phones and laptops.
- If your photo is already under 200 KB, you don't need to compress it at all.
- Removing location data comes free: compressed photos never carry GPS data.
100% private
Most image compressors upload your photo to their servers. This one works inside your browser tab: the photo, which is often an ID photo or a signature, is never uploaded to Krisox or anyone else. Location data (EXIF) is removed along the way.
Questions
Will my photo be clear at 200 KB?
See the measurements above: at 200 KB the 12-megapixel test photo kept 1188 × 891 pixels. Download it and zoom in before you submit.
Is 200 KB counted as 200,000 or 204,800 bytes?
Sites differ. The tool aims under the smaller figure, 200,000 bytes, so the result fits either way.
Which formats can I use?
JPG, PNG, WebP and iPhone HEIC photos. The result is a JPG (accepted almost everywhere) or a WebP.
