How it works
- 1Drop your image — everything runs in your browser, nothing is uploaded anywhere.
- 2We binary-search JPEG quality to find the highest setting that still lands under 200KB — a looser target that leaves quality mostly untouched for most photos.
- 3Dimensions are only downscaled if quality adjustment alone can't reach 200KB.
When you need this
Online application forms, government portals, university admissions, job sites and e-mail attachments often reject files over a strict limit. FileNorm finds the best quality that fits under that limit, so your document is accepted the first time.
Frequently asked questions
- Which portals require a 200KB limit?
- 200KB is a common middle-ground cap on job application and university portals — looser than the strict 20-100KB ID-photo limits, but still tight enough that a phone photo usually needs compressing.
- Will 200KB visibly reduce quality?
- Rarely — at 200KB most portrait and document photos stay sharp. The tool searches for the highest quality that fits rather than applying a fixed compression level.
- What file formats does this accept?
- JPEG, PNG and WebP as input. Output is JPEG (PNG transparency is composited onto white).
- Is my photo uploaded to a server?
- No. All compression happens in your browser via WebAssembly. Your file never leaves your device.
- Is it really free?
- Yes — no account, no watermark, no limit on the number of files.
