200 KB is the sweet spot for photos that people will look at on a screen: listings, profile pictures, email attachments. A phone photo at 3–5 MB shrinks to this with no difference anyone will notice at normal viewing size.

It also changes what you can send. Ten phone photos won’t fit in a 25 MB email; ten 200 KB photos take 2 MB and arrive instantly on a slow connection.

Marketplaces and classified sites often resize your upload anyway, and their re-compression is less careful than this. Sending a lighter, well-compressed file first gives them less to damage.

How to use it

  1. Drop in your photos — as many as you’re sending.
  2. Each one is brought under 200 KB automatically.
  3. Download them one by one or as a ZIP to attach.

Frequently asked questions

Will a 200 KB photo look worse than the original?

On a phone or laptop screen, typically no. The difference shows only if you zoom far into fine detail or print large, where you’d want the original anyway.

How many 200 KB photos fit in an email?

Most providers cap attachments around 20–25 MB, so roughly a hundred — though sending that many as a shared link is kinder to the recipient.

Should I keep my originals?

Yes. Compression discards detail for good. Treat these as copies for sending, and keep the originals for printing and editing.
