The generous photo limit
When a portal allows 200 KB, you can keep nearly all the detail of a phone photo. This size is common for visa and passport photos submitted online, job applications that want a recent photograph, and real-estate or marketplace listings.
What you can expect
Phone cameras save JPEGs at very high quality, often 3–6 MB. Bringing that to 200 KB at the same resolution usually means a quality around 70–85%, where differences are hard to spot. The before-and-after view lets you check faces and fine text yourself before downloading.
Privacy bonus
Photos straight from a phone carry EXIF metadata, including the GPS location where they were taken. The compressed copy drops it, which is a good idea before posting photos publicly. Everything happens in your browser, so the original never leaves your device.
Tips
- Very large panoramas may need a max width/height of 2000–3000 px to reach 200 KB.
- For PNG screenshots, convert first with PNG to JPG.
- Need a stricter limit? Use the 100 KB or 50 KB presets.
Pixel dimensions that fit 200 KB
| Image type | Pixels that usually fit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Phone photo | 1600–2000 px longest side | Hard to tell from the original on screen |
| Marketplace / listing photo | 1200–1600 px | Sharp in zoom views |
| Panorama | 2000–3000 px wide | Set a max width/height |
These are starting points, not guarantees: a noisy, detailed photo needs fewer pixels than a plain one at the same KB.
Where 200 KB is used
Marketplace and property listing photos, job and college application photos that allow larger files, and photo uploads on some visa systems.
