Where a 200 KB limit is used

200 KB limits show up for scanned documents and certificates, product photos on marketplaces, and website images where page speed matters.

What to expect

At 200 KB most photos keep their full width up to about 1600–2000 pixels with little visible loss. Choose WebP output for websites to get even better quality at the same size.

  2. 2The limit is already set to 200 KB — change it if your form says otherwise.

Frequently asked questions

Is a 200 KB image good for a website?

Yes, for a large hero or product photo. For thumbnails aim much smaller — 30–80 KB.

Will text in a scanned document stay readable?

Usually yes at 200 KB. If small print gets blurry, crop the margins away or use a slightly higher target.

Why does the form say my file is still too big?

Some sites count 1 KB as 1,000 bytes instead of 1,024. If that happens, set a target a few KB lower.
