Where a 200KB limit shows up

Good habits for document photos

  • Scan or photograph documents in good, even light so text stays legible after compression.
  • Straighten and crop to the document edges before compressing.
  • If a scan has large white margins, cropping them lets more of the 200KB go to the text.
100% client-side: nothing is uploaded, so even sensitive documents stay private on your device.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 200KB good for scanned documents?

Yes. 200KB usually keeps printed text sharp and readable, which is ideal for certificates and ID scans.

Can I compress multiple pages?

Compress each image one at a time. For multi-page PDFs, use a PDF compressor instead.

Will the tool change my image dimensions?

It keeps your original dimensions unless the target can't be reached by quality alone, in which case it reduces the size to fit.
