Compress an image to 200 KB

200 KB leaves room for detail, which makes it the right target for certificates, mark sheets and other documents that must stay readable.

Your file stays on your device. This tool runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to our servers, and nothing is stored.

How to compress an image to 200 KB

  1. Choose your image or scan.
  2. Adjust the target if your form asks for something different.
  3. Keep the dimensions large so small print stays legible.
  4. Press Compress, then download.

Supported formats

JPG / JPEG, PNG and WebP in, JPG out.

Important limitations

Worth knowing before you start, so nothing here comes as a surprise at the point you are submitting a form:

  • The result is at or under 200 KB, not exactly 200 KB.
  • A photograph of a document taken at an angle compresses badly and reads badly. Photograph it straight on, in even light, before compressing.

How your files are handled

This tool does its work using your browser’s own image and document engine. Your file is read from your device into the page’s memory, processed there, and offered back to you as a download. It is never sent to Fyleit, never written to a server, and never stored anywhere we can reach.

You can verify that for yourself: load this page, disconnect from the internet, and the tool still works. That is also why there is no sign-up and no email field — we have nothing to attach an account to.

Common problems

My certificate scan looks washed out.

Light-ink stamps and signatures are the first thing compression removes. Try 200 KB with the dimensions kept high, and if the form allows a PDF, convert the image to PDF instead — the quality holds up better at the same file size.

Frequently asked questions

Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. This tool uses your browser’s own image engine, so the photo is read, processed and saved entirely on your device. Nothing is sent to us, and nothing is stored. You can confirm this by opening your browser’s network tab, or by disconnecting from the internet after the page has loaded — the tool keeps working.
Should I upload a document as an image or a PDF?
Follow whatever the form asks for. If it accepts both, PDF is usually the better choice for multi-page documents, and it keeps related pages together so nothing gets lost.
