How to compress an image to 200 KB

  1. 1

    Add the photo

    Drop it onto the page or choose it.

  2. 2

    Pick the display size

    200 KB is already set. For a website, set the width to the largest size the photo is shown at.

  3. 3

    Optimize and download

    Check detail with the slider, then download.

What fits in 200 KB

As a rough guide, a typical JPG photo reaches 200 KB at about 1,500 to 2,000 pixels on its longest side, and WebP or AVIF at a little more. That covers a full-width image on most laptops and a sharp image on phones.

For faster web pages

Large images are one of the most common reasons pages load slowly. Keeping hero images and blog photos around 200 KB, at the size they're displayed, makes a visible difference on mobile connections.

If you control the website, WebP at 200 KB usually looks better than JPG at 200 KB. Keep JPG when the platform only accepts it.

Common uses

  • Hero and article images on websites and blogs.
  • Marketplace and classified listings.
  • Photos embedded in newsletters.
  • Portfolio images that need to look good and load fast.

AVIF

HEIC

Not used by camera photos.
Compression
Lossy and very efficient, but poorly supported outside Apple devices.

AVIF and HEIC use codecs downloaded the first time you need them; after that they work offline. Animated images are converted as a single frame.

Questions

Should I resize before compressing to 200 KB?

Set the dimensions you need in the same step. PixMino then finds the best quality for that size under 200 KB.

WebP or JPG for 200 KB?

WebP keeps more detail at the same size and works in all current browsers. Use JPG where WebP isn't accepted.

Can I do this for a whole folder?

Yes. Batch mode applies 200 KB to every image and gives you a ZIP of the results.
