Published January 2025 ยท 5 min read

Need to compress an image to exactly 200KB for a government portal, visa application, passport upload or job form? This guide shows you exactly how to do it in under 60 seconds โ€” completely free, no software to install.

โœ… Quick answer: Use ImageLinko's free image compressor, set quality to 75โ€“82%, and watch the stats bar until you reach 200KB or below.

Why government portals require images under 200KB

Most government portals in India โ€” including UAN login for PF, Passport Seva, e-district portals, visa applications and job portals โ€” have strict file size limits. These limits are typically 50KB, 100KB or 200KB.

Modern smartphone cameras produce images of 3โ€“15MB. This is 10โ€“75 times larger than what these portals accept, which is why you need to compress first.
