Compress image to 200 KB
200 KB limits show up constantly on passport, visa, and ID photo uploads, exam registrations, and marketplace listings. Because this tool runs entirely in your browser, your identity documents never touch anyone's server — which matters for exactly these use cases.

The 200 KB limit and identity documents
A lot of official systems settle on 200 KB because it's enough to keep a face or document clearly legible at the dimensions they require, while still being small enough to store and review at scale. That's why you'll meet it on some of the most sensitive uploads you'll ever do.
- Passport, visa, and national ID photo uploads.
- Exam and competitive-test registration portals.
- Bank and KYC (know-your-customer) document submissions.
- Marketplace and classifieds listing photos.
Why doing this in your browser matters here
Most 'free' online compressors upload your file to their servers to process it. For a holiday snap that's no big deal — for a scan of your passport or a photo of your face attached to an ID application, it means handing a copy of a sensitive document to a company you know nothing about.
This tool never uploads anything. The compression runs locally on your device using the browser's Canvas API, so your ID photo stays with you. Keep the required dimensions (commonly 600–1200 px for ID photos) and check the preview to confirm the face and any text remain sharp before you submit.

Frequently asked questions
Is this safe for passport and ID photos?
Safer than the alternatives: your photo is processed on your own device and never uploaded anywhere. Most 'free' compressor sites send your document photo to their servers — this one can't, by design.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. Compression happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API — your image never leaves your device, which is also why it's instant.
What if my image can't reach 200 KB?
The tool first lowers the compression quality, and if that's not enough it gradually reduces the dimensions until the file fits under 200 KB. Extremely detailed images may lose visible quality at very small targets — the preview shows you exactly what you'll get.
