Tips

FAQs

What if the image still looks bad at 200KB?

Lower the quality target slightly and try again. For very small targets, some quality loss is inevitable.

Does compression change image dimensions?

No — compression reduces file size without changing pixel dimensions. Use resize to change dimensions.

Can I compress to exactly 200KB?

The tool targets under 200KB. The actual output may be slightly smaller than 200KB.
