Target Size treats 200KB as a maximum, not an exact output. A 200KB target may produce a 198KB JPEG — the goal is to stay within your limit while preserving the highest possible quality.

If a website says your image must be below 200KB, choose Target Size and set the limit to 200KB. It’s the most common ceiling for online application forms, document portals, website uploads, and email attachments — including passport or application photos where the relevant instructions specify 200KB. Requirements vary by application and can change, so always go by the current instructions for your upload.
JPEG compression reduces file size by removing image information that is less noticeable to the human eye. At 200KB there is usually generous room — most phone photos land here with minimal visible change. CompressJPEG searches for the highest quality setting that produces a file within your selected limit.

Choose the Target Size mode and pick 200 KB (or type a custom size). The tool searches quality 100→1 for the highest quality that fits under your limit. If it cannot fit without ruining the photo, it will say so and suggest enabling Resize instead of silently destroying quality.
200KB is a common ceiling for application forms, portals, email, and web uploads — but requirements vary by application and can change, so confirm the limit in the current instructions.
Yes — up to 20 images. They are processed one at a time so large batches don’t freeze your browser. Download individually or all together as a ZIP file.
Yes. Compression runs locally in your browser — image bytes are never uploaded to our servers. The compression library itself loads from a CDN, so the page needs internet once, but your photos never leave your device.
