When to aim near 200 KB

Many themes and listing grids expect hero images in the low hundreds of kilobytes. Export JPEG from this tool or pick WebP when the platform supports it for better quality per byte.

  • Match width to your layout—oversized pixels waste your KB budget
  • Try WebP if JPEG cannot reach 200 KB without visible banding

Artifacts to watch for

Very low JPEG quality shows blocking around edges and muddy skies. If that appears, increase quality a notch or reduce dimensions instead of crushing quality further.

Frequently asked questions

How do I compress a JPG under 200 KB?
Upload a JPEG (or convert from PNG/WebP), lower the quality slider, and confirm the output size in the preview. Resize wide photos if you still exceed 200 KB.
Should I use JPEG or WebP for a 200 KB budget?
WebP often hits 200 KB with better visual quality than JPEG. Use JPEG when your platform only accepts .jpg files.
Does re-saving JPEG reduce quality?
Each lossy export can add artifacts. Start from the highest-quality source you have and compress once for the final delivery size.
