About This Tool
Applications, scholarship portals, and membership systems ask for photos under 200KB, and a phone camera photo is usually ten times that. This tool compresses any photo to 200KB or less while keeping it clear enough for official use, with compression that runs entirely in your browser. Upload, slide, and download - no signup and no server involved.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do application forms cap photos at 200KB?
Forms that collect thousands of applicant photos impose 200KB ceilings to keep their storage and review systems fast. Staying under it means your photo is never rejected at submission.
Is 200KB enough for an application photo?
Yes for typical headshots and ID-style photos. Faces compress well, and 200KB keeps them recognizable; the live preview lets you confirm before you download.
Does the tool work for scanned photos too?
Yes. Scanned photos compress just like digital ones - use the slider to balance size and clarity, and check the preview for legibility.
