A comfortable size for documents and profile pictures
200 KB is a generous limit that keeps good detail. It suits profile pictures, ID photos and scanned documents where text must stay readable.
For scanned documents, prefer a width of 1000 to 1400 pixels so the text stays legible. For photos of people, 600 to 800 pixels wide is usually enough.
Common questions
Will the file be exactly 200 KB?
It will be 200 KB or a little smaller. The tool picks the best quality that stays under the limit.
The result is still too big. What now?
If it is still too large, reduce the dimensions a little and try again.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The photo is processed inside your browser and never leaves your device.
Can I use PNG files?
Choose JPG as the output format. PNG files cannot be reduced to a target size.
