Does compression reduce image dimensions?

If quality alone cannot reach the target, ExactPic may scale down dimensions slightly while preserving readability.

How do I compress an image to 200KB?

This page pre-sets a 200 KB target. Drop your photo or scan, compress, and download a file at or just under 200 KB — nothing is uploaded to ExactPic.

Is 200KB better than 100KB for documents?

Usually yes for multi-page scans or color certificates. Use 200 KB when the form allows it and text must stay sharp; use 100 KB or less only when the portal requires a tighter cap.

200KB for larger form photos

Some systems allow more detail at 200KB. This preset balances clarity with strict file-size rules.

Government portals and exam registrations often set 200KB for documents that need to stay legible after upload, such as mark sheets, certificates, and detailed photos.

Getting the most out of 200KB

Because 200KB leaves room for detail, you can usually keep the full dimensions of a photo or scan. If the file still comes out larger, ExactPic reduces quality first and only trims dimensions as a last resort.

Leave a small safety margin

Aim around 180–190 KB when the stated limit is 200 KB. That avoids edge cases where a portal rounds file size differently than your OS file properties dialog.
