Compress an image to 200 KB
A 200 KB limit is the friendlier cousin of the document caps. It gives scanned certificates and detailed forms real breathing room while still keeping files modest. Aim the compress to size tool at 200 KB and the quality barely moves.

What you keep at 200 KB
200 KB is generous for a single page or a portrait. A full-color A4 scan around 1000x1400 pixels stays clean, and a photo at 900x900 holds fine detail with little visible loss. You rarely have to sacrifice anything noticeable.
This is the size where compression stops feeling like a tradeoff. The quality slider sits high, so textures like fabric and skin stay natural. It is a good default when a portal allows up to 200 KB and you want the best version that fits.
Common 200 KB uses
Government job portals, university applications, and many certificate uploads accept up to 200 KB. It is a standard middle cap, large enough for a clear color document yet small enough to keep their storage tidy.
When you have headroom like this, do not force the file smaller than it needs to be. Compress to fit the limit, not below it, so you hand in the sharpest scan the rules allow.
Photo versus document at 200 KB
A photo and a text scan use the 200 KB budget differently. A photo spreads detail across the whole frame, so it benefits from the full size. A document is mostly white space, so it often lands far under 200 KB with room to spare, leaving the text razor sharp.
