Compress an image to under 200KB
This tool reduces an image's file size to a target you choose — 200KB by default — while automatically finding the highest quality that still fits. It works entirely in your browser: the image is processed on your device and never uploaded anywhere.

Why 200KB?
Most websites load noticeably faster once you reduce image size below about 200KB, and many platforms — including WordPress themes, email systems, and some ad networks — enforce size limits around this range. A photo straight from a phone or camera is often 2–8MB; this tool typically reduces that by 90% or more while keeping the highest quality that fits your target size.
How it works
Step 1
Upload
Pick a JPEG, PNG, or WebP file. It stays on your device the whole time.
Step 2
Compress
The tool solves for your target size and the best quality that still fits.
Step 3
Download
Save the compressed file straight from your browser.
Frequently asked questions
- Does this upload my image to a server?
- No. All resizing and compression happens locally in your browser using your device's own processing power. The image never leaves your computer or phone.
- What image formats are supported?
- You can compress JPEG, PNG, and WebP files, and choose which format to output.
- Can I compress a JPG to 200KB?
- Yes. Upload a JPG (or JPEG — same format, different extension) and the tool will search for the highest quality setting that lands at or under 200KB.
- Can I compress a PNG to 200KB?
- Yes. PNG files often start larger than JPEG or WebP because they're lossless, so this tool re-encodes them to a format and quality level that hits your target size — you can keep the output as PNG or switch to JPEG or WebP for a smaller result.
- Will compressing to 200KB make my image blurry?
- Not usually. The tool searches for the highest quality setting that still fits under your target size, so quality loss is minimized. Very detailed images or very small size targets may show some softening.
- Is PublishFit free to use?
- Yes. There's no account, no subscription, and no limit on how many images you can compress — PublishFit is free to use, on this tool and every other one on the site.
- Can I use this on my phone?
- Yes. PublishFit works in any modern mobile browser — tap to upload a photo from your camera roll or files, and the compressed image downloads straight to your phone.
