Frequently asked questions
Will a photo still look good at 200KB?
For on-screen viewing, usually yes. 200KB is enough for a sharp JPEG around 1500-2000 pixels wide. It is not enough for large prints, so keep the original for printing.
Why is my 200KB result smaller than 200KB?
If a high quality already fits under the limit, the tool stops there instead of padding the file. A 150KB result simply means your image did not need more data.
Should I use this or the regular image compressor?
Use this page when a site or email imposes a hard size limit. Use Compress Image when you just want a smaller file at a quality level you choose.
Does it work with PNG screenshots?
Yes, but screenshots with text can blur at low JPEG quality. If the result looks soft, try WebP or a higher target.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The whole process runs in your browser, and the photo never leaves your device.
