How to compress an image to 200 KB
- Drop one or more images into the box above.
- The 200 KB target is already selected. Optionally choose WebP as the output format for even smaller files.
- Compare the result with the original and download it.
Why 200 KB works well for the web
Images are usually the heaviest part of a web page. Keeping each one under about 200 KB makes pages load noticeably faster, especially on mobile connections, and fast pages tend to keep visitors around longer.
At 200 KB a typical photo can stay around 1600–2000 pixels wide with good quality — more than enough for blog posts, product photos and full-width banners on most screens.
Tips for website images
- Resize first: there is no need to publish a 4000-pixel photo in a 1200-pixel column. Use “Max width / height”.
- Use WebP if your website or platform supports it; it is widely supported by modern browsers.
- Use PNG only for graphics, logos and screenshots; photos are much lighter as JPG or WebP.
