Frequently asked questions

Why do I need an image under 200 KB?

200 KB is a typical ceiling for images embedded in documents or email newsletters, where you want the picture to still look good at full width.

Can any image be compressed to 200 KB?

Comfortably. At 200 KB a photograph can keep both its full dimensions and high quality, so this target rarely involves a visible compromise.

What will the result actually look like at 200 KB?

No visible compromise in most cases. A photograph keeps its full dimensions and high quality and still clears the limit comfortably.

How does it hit the target?

It repeatedly re-encodes the image, adjusting quality by binary search until it finds the highest setting that still fits. If quality alone cannot get there, it progressively reduces the pixel dimensions as well. The whole search runs on your device, typically in under a second.

Which format gives the smallest file?

JPG for photographs. WebP if you control the destination — for an image embedded in a page it loads meaningfully faster at the same quality.
