Compress Image to 200KB – free, instant, runs 100% in your browser

Hey everyone,

I built compressto200kb.com after noticing a very specific frustration that millions of people share but nobody talks about.

In India (and many other countries), government websites, job portals, and exam registrations all have a strict photo size limit — usually exactly 200KB. Every time someone tries to upload their photo, they get rejected. Then they Google "how to compress image to 200KB", land on some sketchy site that uploads their photo to a server, and hope for the best.

That felt wrong to me. A photo for a passport or Aadhaar application is personal. It shouldn't be uploaded to a random server just to be resized.

So I built a tool that does the entire compression inside your browser — no upload, no account, no data collection. You drop in your JPG, PNG, or WEBP, and it binary-searches for the highest quality that still hits your target size. Done in seconds.

It's free, works on mobile, and handles batch compression too.

Would love any feedback — especially from folks who've dealt with this pain before!
