About the Compress Image to 200KB
Add a phone photo, a scan or a screenshot and get it back under 200 KB: at most 200,000 bytes, at the highest JPG quality that fits. Photos straight from a phone are several megabytes, so they are usually made smaller in pixels too — but at 200 KB a portrait keeps plenty of detail. JPG files are written with MozJPEG, an encoder built for small files.
The National Testing Agency takes photos of 10–200 KB for NEET (UG), JEE (Main) and CUET (UG), and IGNOU’s admission form takes certificates of less than 200 KB as JPG or PDF. The rules are listed below with their official sources. Everything runs in your browser: nothing is uploaded. Without a pass, the free preview shows your result at preview size with a MySmartCoPilot watermark; in a batch, only the first files are made.
How to use it
- Add the photo or scan: drop it on the box, choose it, or paste a screenshot. iPhone photos (HEIC) work too.
- The size is already set to 200 KB. Keep the format on JPG, which these forms ask for.
- Check the result — size, quality and pixels — and compare it with the original with the eye button. Then download it — with a pass, or after unlocking this result — or all of them as a ZIP with a pass.
Examples
4032 × 3024 px phone photo · 200 KB
A JPG of at most 200,000 bytes, smaller in pixels than the original.
NTA also wants the face to fill about 80% of the photo against a white background: the Photo & Signature Resizer shows a face guide while you crop.
Photo of a certificate · 200 KB
A readable JPG under 200 KB.
For a PDF instead, make one with Image to PDF and its size limit.
Where 200 KB is the limit
Check the notification of your own exam or application: rules change from one round to the next.
- NEET (UG) photo: 10–200 KB, JPG (NEET (UG) information bulletin)
- JEE (Main) photo: 10–200 KB, JPG (JEE (Main) information bulletin)
- CUET (UG) photo: 10–200 KB, JPG (CUET (UG) information bulletin)
- IGNOU admission qualification, experience and category certificates: less than 200 KB, JPG or PDF (IGNOU online admission)
Pixel sizes that fit in 200 KB
Measured with MozJPEG: a 413 × 531 px passport-size photo (3.5 × 4.5 cm at 300 DPI) is about 51–98 KB even at quality 95, so it fits 200 KB with room to spare, and a detailed 1200 × 800 px street photo is about 200 KB at quality 92 (about 116 KB at 75). A 12-megapixel phone photo does not fit at a usable quality, so it is made smaller in pixels until it does.
NTA sets no pixel size for its photos, so the result can stay at whatever size fits; it only has to be at least 10 KB, which a photo of a few hundred pixels at a good quality easily is.
200 KB: 200,000 or 204,800 bytes?
Forms differ: some count 1 KB as 1,000 bytes, others as 1,024. The file is made at most 200,000 bytes, so it is under 200 KB either way, and IGNOU’s “less than 200 KB” is met too unless the file is exactly 200,000 bytes long, which the quality search makes very unlikely. Each result shows its exact size.
Other sizes
Compress Image to KB has buttons for 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 KB, 1 MB and any other size, with the forms that ask for each. The most-asked sizes have pages too: 20 KB · 50 KB · 100 KB. For a PDF, use Compress PDF to Size.
Limitations
- Up to 100 images at a time, 50 megapixels and 200 MB each. Animated images keep their first frame.
- Only the form decides what it accepts: check its face, background and other rules too.
Privacy
Your photos and scans are processed in your browser and never uploaded. The files you download contain no camera details, dates or GPS location.

The pricing page lists the passes and their prices.
How do I compress a photo to 200 KB for NEET or JEE?
Add it here: the size is set to 200 KB. The tool keeps the highest JPG quality whose file is at most 200,000 bytes and reduces the pixels only when quality 40 is still too big. NTA takes JPG photos of 10–200 KB, so the result fits; check the face and background rules in the bulletin too.
Why did the photo get smaller in pixels?
A phone photo has about 12 million pixels; squeezed into 200 KB at that size, it would look blocky. Fewer pixels at a good quality look better and are what forms expect. Untick Make the picture smaller in pixels to keep every pixel and lower the quality instead.
Can I compress a PDF certificate to 200 KB?
Yes, with Compress PDF to Size. This page takes images; a certificate you photographed can also go straight into Image to PDF with a size limit.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. It is compressed in your browser, and the page keeps working offline once it has loaded.
