FreeImageKit compresses photos to 200 KB or less for free, in your browser, without uploading them. It fits each photo inside 2,560 px on its longest side, then searches for the highest JPG quality that stays at or under 200 KB. Use it for document portals, marketplaces and email systems with a 200 KB limit.
How to use this page
- Select one or more photos (JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC) and choose Run.
- Each photo is fitted inside 2,560 × 2,560 px, then saved as the highest-quality JPG at or under 200 KB.
- Download each image, or all of them as a ZIP, and check the file sizes.

Never over the limit
If a photo cannot reach 200 KB at these settings, you get a message instead of a file that is too large.
Frequently asked questions
Can I keep the original dimensions?
Photos up to 2,560 px keep their size. For larger ones, choose Customize and raise the size limit; if 200 KB is then out of reach the tool tells you instead of saving a file over the limit.
My photo is already under 200 KB. Do I need this?
No, you can upload it as it is. If you run it anyway, the photo is re-saved as a clean copy without camera metadata and never comes out larger than the file you started with: in our test a 172.4 KB portrait came out at 169.3 KB.
Is 200 KB enough for a document scan?
For a single page at screen resolution, usually yes. Text stays readable best if you keep the scan in black and white and crop the margins first.
Does 1 KB mean 1,000 or 1,024 bytes here?
1,024 bytes, like most file managers. A few forms count 1 KB as 1,000 bytes, which is about 2% less; for those, choose Customize and set the target a little lower, for example 48 KB instead of 50 KB.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Resizing and the quality search run in your browser, so the photos never leave your device. It is free, with no sign-up and no watermark.
