## How to compress a PNG to 200 KB

1. **Add your PNG.** Drop one or more PNG files onto the compressor above, paste them, or click to browse.
2. **200 KB is preset.** The target is already set to 200 KB, and each file is compressed to land at or just under it. You can switch to another size or a percentage to reduce by.
3. **Compress.** Click Compress. The PNG is processed in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
4. **Check and download.** Check the new size, then download each file or all of them as a ZIP.

## Good to know

- Around 200 KB, a photo can stay large enough to fill a content column on a web page while still loading quickly.
- PNG keeps logos and screenshots crisp at 200 KB, but photos have to be scaled down a long way. For photos, converting PNG to JPG reaches 200 KB at a much higher resolution.
- 200 KB here means 200,000 bytes, so the result also fits forms that count 1 KB as 1,024 bytes.
- PNG compression runs entirely in your browser with WebAssembly, so nothing is uploaded and your files never leave your device.

## What fits in 200 KB

PNG is lossless at heart, so what fits in 200 KB depends heavily on the content.

| Content | Roughly fits | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Logo or flat graphic | ≈ 1,630 × 1,630 px (3 MP) | Few colours compress very well |
| Screenshot | ≈ 1,260 × 790 px | After palette reduction |
| Photo | ≈ 690 × 460 px | Convert to JPG for far more |

_Rough guide for square, 16:10 and 3:2 images. Real results depend on detail and colour count._

## What 200 KB is typically for

- Images inside blog posts and articles
- Product and marketplace listing photos
- Images in email newsletters

Limits vary by site and change over time; check the exact number where you're uploading.

## How PNG gets smaller

Reduces the colour palette (lossy levels) and re-compresses at maximum zlib effort.
