Questions

How do I compress a photo to 200 KB?

Add the image above; the target is already set to 200 KB. The tool finds the highest JPEG quality that fits under 204800 bytes, shrinking the width only if needed, then you save the file.

Why is my image under 200 KB but smaller than expected?

The search steps in quality increments and always stays under the limit, so the result is usually a little below the target. That leaves margin for forms that count KB as 1,000 bytes.

My form also requires exact pixel dimensions. What do I do?

Enter the required width and height as max width and max height before adding the image. The tool resizes first and then fits the size target, which gives better quality than letting it shrink on its own.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The compression runs in your browser with WebAssembly; the file stays on your device. That matters for ID photos and signatures.
