FAQ

Can I compress an image to exactly 200KB?

Resize Relay tunes compression quality and dimensions to land as close as possible to a 200KB target.

Is 200KB a common upload cap?

Yes. Many forms and profile systems set image limits around 200KB. Confirm the exact value in the official instructions.

Are my images stored?

No. Images are processed in your browser and are not retained after download.

Common situations for this workflow

Shrinking large camera or phone photos to a 200KB upload cap.

Job, school, or registration portals with a mid-range 200KB image limit.

Forms that need a readable photo without the severe compression of a 100KB limit.

Checklist before you upload

Compress to JPEG unless the portal explicitly requires PNG.

Match pixel dimensions too when the destination lists both size and width/height.

Preview the output to confirm faces or text still look clear after compression.

Tips to hit the target faster

200KB usually leaves enough room for decent clarity, especially for headshots.

If a portal still rejects the file, the issue is often dimensions or aspect ratio, not raw size.

Compress from the original high-quality file rather than an already-compressed copy.
