Use the pixels you actually need
The tool searches for quality first and reduces dimensions only when needed. Avoid keeping thousands of unused pixels for a small on-page image.

Questions about 200 KB.
What the 200 KB ceiling means before you choose an image.
Will the compressed image stay under 200 KB?
Yes. A result is only shown as successful after its final Blob size has been checked at or below the effective 200 KB limit. If the original file is already smaller, the original file size becomes the effective ceiling.
Why can the result be smaller than exactly 200 KB?
200 KB is treated as a maximum, not a byte count that must be matched exactly. Image encoders produce discrete results, so the best valid output may land below the limit.
Can a multi-megapixel photo fit under 200KB?
The tool can lower encoding quality and then reduce dimensions until the file fits. The final pixel size depends on the format and complexity of that particular photo.
Is 200KB suitable for a website thumbnail?
It is a useful ceiling for many medium-size previews, but the right result depends on the rendered dimensions and visual detail. Judge the download in the layout where it will be used.
Are my images uploaded or stored?
No. Your original and processed images stay inside your browser and are never uploaded to our server. Refreshing or closing the page clears the working image data from the browser. Files you download remain on your device until you delete them.
