Convert HEIC to JPG under 200 KB

200 KB is a common limit for photos on visa, exam and job application forms, which usually ask for JPEG.

An iPhone photo as a JPG under 200 KB

Application forms that cap photos at 200 KB almost always want JPG too. Uploading the HEIC straight from a computer fails twice: wrong format, and several times too big.

We fix both at once. A 12-megapixel iPhone photo under 200 KB usually keeps around 1,800 pixels on its long side, still sharp for a portrait or a photo of a document.

Tips

  • If the form gives exact pixel dimensions, like 600 x 600 for a US visa photo, open Exact size in pixels and enter them; we crop to fill.
  • On an iPhone, uploading straight from Safari usually hands the site a JPG already. This is for HEIC files that have reached a computer, by AirDrop, iCloud or email.
  • We remove camera metadata such as GPS location from the JPG, which also keeps where you took the photo private.

How it works

  1. 1

    Drop your file

    A PDF or an image. It goes over an encrypted connection and nowhere else.

  2. 2

    Pick your limit

    Choose the size the form asks for. We start with a cleanup that changes nothing you can see.

  3. 3

    Download it

    If it needs more, we find the gentlest quality setting that still fits, and delete everything soon after.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. There is no sign-up and no watermark.

What happens to my file?

It is processed on our server and deleted automatically: the original 5 minutes after the run finishes, the compressed file after 10. A file you upload but never compress is deleted within 30 minutes. You can also delete everything right away with Delete now.

Will it look worse?

We try a lossless cleanup first, which does not change how the file looks. Only if that is not enough do we lower image quality, and we pick the gentlest setting that still fits your size.

What if my file cannot get that small?

You get the smallest version we could make and a clear note saying so, instead of a file that silently misses the limit.

Why does the size page aim a little under its limit?

Some sites count a kilobyte as 1000 bytes and others as 1024. We aim under the stricter one, so a 200 KB page aims for 200,000 bytes and the file passes either way.
