How to make an image under 200 kb
Reduce an image until the result is at or below approximately 200 KB when the source and output format allow it.
Why use File Chisel?
File Chisel is designed around the outcome you need rather than a long list of technical settings. Choose a supported image, set the requirement, process it, and download a separate finished copy.
Is my image uploaded?
For the image tool on this page, processing happens in your browser using browser image APIs. The source file is not sent to a File Chisel server by this application.
What happens to the original?
Your original stays on your device. File Chisel creates a separate output file for download.
Tips for a better result
- Use JPG for photographs when transparency is not required.
- Use the exact target size when a website or form provides a KB or MB limit.
- For very large images, reducing dimensions can cut file size more than quality changes alone.
