Why LocalJPG?
Private by architecture
Files never upload — conversion runs in your browser. Most converters send photos to a server first.
Works offline
Installs as an app after the first visit. Airplane mode? Still converts.
Batch + ZIP, free
Drop a whole folder, download one ZIP. Others gate batches behind accounts or paid plans.
EXIF preserved
Capture date, GPS, orientation survive the conversion. Compressors often strip them.
tl;drDrop your photo below and we'll compress it to 200 KB or less. Common target for visa forms, university portals, and bureau-style upload limits. Browser-only conversion.
A 200 KB cap is the most common upload limit you'll see on government ID portals, university applications, and older HR systems. It's small enough to make legacy infrastructure happy and large enough to keep a recognisable face photo.
Pick the 200 KB chip below and drop your file. We binary-search JPEG quality until the output fits. EXIF is preserved unless you strip it manually with another tool.
If the photo is a high-resolution studio shot and the system rejects it for being too detailed (some old systems also limit pixel dimensions), use a separate resize step first.
Common questions
Why does my visa application want exactly 200 KB?
Most ministry portals were sized in the early 2000s when 200 KB was a sensible upper bound. The cap stuck across upgrade cycles.
Will the image still meet biometric requirements?
Compression doesn't change face position, background, or pixel dimensions. If the original passed those rules, the 200 KB version will too.
Can I batch-compress many ID photos at once?
Yes — drop a folder or ZIP. Each photo is compressed individually to 200 KB. Download them one by one or as a ZIP archive of all results — free.
