Compress a PNG to 200 KB

Straight answer first: PNG is lossless, so it cannot be trimmed to an exact 200 KB while staying PNG. This tool converts the PNG to JPG to hit 200 KB, and any transparent pixels become a white background.

Output lands at or under your target. JPEG and WebP only.

Why the format has to change

PNG stores pixels exactly and discards nothing, which leaves no quality to trade for a tighter size. Landing precisely on 200 KB while the file stays PNG is not possible. JPG is lossy, so the tool converts to JPG and lowers quality in small steps until it reaches 200 KB.

JPG carries no alpha channel, so transparency turns into a white background during the conversion. At 200 KB the JPG keeps plenty of detail, which makes this a solid route for screenshots and flat graphics, just not for images that rely on see-through edges.

Compress a PNG to 200 KB

Keep PNG when you need it

If the result has to be a real PNG, do not run this conversion. The compress PNG losslessly tool shrinks the file without altering a pixel and preserves transparency. It cannot promise an exact 200 KB, but it stays a true PNG.

When a JPG at 200 KB suits you, this page produces a sharp, well-sized image. To choose a different target or start from a JPG or WebP, compress to any size hands you the dial.
