Why this exact limit matters
Attachment limits are the quiet tax on email: exceed the mail server's cap and the message bounces, or the recipient's inbox quarantines it. Photos from modern phones start at several megabytes, so a mailbox with a modest limit rejects them outright.
Shrinking attachments to a stated size keeps mail deliverable without forcing you to learn a photo editor just to send a picture. 200 KB is a moderate limit, common for application portals, and this page is preset to exactly that ceiling.
How to compress to 200 KB
- Drop your image into the box above — it stays on your device.
- Confirm the target: under 200 KB as JPEG.
- The MozJPEG encoder searches its quality range so the JPEG output lands just under your limit. Dimensions are left at their original size unless the target demands otherwise.
- Preview the result, compare it with the original if you want, and download — the filename carries its actual size.
Tip: If you attach photos regularly, compress before attaching rather than relying on the mail client's "large attachments" link — those links expire, while a small attachment is a real attachment.
Frequently asked questions
Does compressing remove the photo's EXIF data like location?
Re-encoding replaces the original metadata, which means location and camera information from the source file is not carried into the output — usually desirable for attachments.
Why JPEG and not another format for my upload?
JPEG is the most universally accepted image format on upload forms and gives the smallest files for photographs. If your destination accepts only "images", JPEG is the safe choice.
Do I need an account or app install?
No account, no install, no watermark. The page you are on is the whole tool.
