About this tool

When you need 200 KB

Government and tax portals, school registrations and visa forms commonly cap a single image or scan at 200 KB.

Getting under 200 KB without ruining the picture

A 200 KB JPG can carry a full A4 scan at readable resolution if it is mostly black text on white. Photos keep about 1400 pixels of width.

Other size limits

Forms use many different caps. The related pages cover the neighbouring sizes, and the FileHost.net Image Compressor gives manual control of quality and width.
