How do I compress a photo to 200 KB?

To compress a photo to 200 KB, SafeResize saves it as a JPG of 200,000 bytes or less, which is under 200 KB whether a website counts 1 KB as 1,000 or 1,024 bytes.

Official photo rules on SafeResize with 200 KBAs the largest file: India OCI card and Indonesia e-Visa / e-VOA.

Before you start

200 KB leaves room for a clear, detailed photo. It is also a limit in some official rules: the India OCI photo, for example, must be at most 200 KB and square, between 200 × 200 and 900 × 900 pixels.

The tool below opens with "Under 200 KB" chosen.

Tips

A checklist before you upload

On SafeResize, the India OCI card photo (square, 200 × 200 to 900 × 900 pixels) and the Indonesia e-Visa / e-VOA photo (at least 400 × 600 pixels) have a 200 KB maximum. A limit like this often comes with other rules, so check all of them:
