Compress Image to 200 KB
200 KB leaves enough room for readable document scans and detailed photos, which makes it a common limit for ID proofs and certificates on upload forms.
How to compress an image to 200 KB
- 1Click “Choose image” and pick your photo or scan.
- 2200 KB is already selected.
- 3Click “Compress to 200 KB” and download the JPG.
Keeping documents readable
Small print blurs first. After compressing, zoom in and check that names and numbers are still clear. If not, crop the document to its edges so the same 200 KB covers less area.
Need a PDF instead?
Some forms only take PDFs. Compress the scan here, then turn it into a PDF with Image to PDF.
