Compress Image to 200KB is a free online tool that reduces the file size of JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WebP images without requiring any software installation. It runs entirely in your browser, so your files stay on your device throughout the entire process. The tool adjusts image quality and encoding parameters to find the smallest possible file size while keeping the image visually sharp. This makes it practical for developers optimising assets for the web, photographers preparing images for email, and anyone who needs to meet a strict file-size limit for a form or upload portal. Unlike cloud-based services, there are no file queues, no waiting for uploads, and no risk of your images being stored or shared. You get the compressed result immediately, ready to download in JPG and WebP format.

Choose WebP for the web

Start with the highest quality
Always compress the original file, never a previously compressed copy, to avoid stacking artifacts.
Check at 100% zoom
View the compressed result at full size before downloading to spot any unwanted artifacts.
Use JPEG for photos
JPEG handles photographic content more efficiently than PNG for compression.
PNG for screenshots and UI
PNG compression is lossless and better preserves sharp edges and text in screenshots.
