Why compress image to 200kb?

- Blog post images and featured pictures
- Product photos for online shops
- Email attachments with several pictures
- Social media uploads that need to stay light
What does a 200 KB image look like?
With 200 KB you can keep a photo around 1200 pixels wide at good quality. This is a comfortable size for most blog posts and product pages, and it leaves room for fine detail. The exact result depends on the picture, because busy photos need more data than simple graphics.
How the tool reaches 200 KB
For JPG and WebP the tool finds the highest quality that still fits, then shrinks the dimensions if needed. PNG files are made smaller by reducing their dimensions. Choose JPG or WebP under Convert to for the best chance. See the image file type guide from MDN for more on formats.
Tips to compress image to 200kb without losing detail
- Keep the width around 1200 to 1600 pixels.

Common problems and fixes
