Compress HEIC to 200KB

1. Upload your HEIC (up to 50 MB).
2. The compressor automatically targets 200 KB or under.
3. Download the compressed HEIC — ready to upload or send.

200 KB is a comfortable target for HEIC — high-quality web images and email attachments both fit well. iPhone photos compressed to 200 KB HEIC look great on screens, with quality 80-88%.

200 KB is the sweet spot for high-quality iPhone photos on the web — sharp on retina screens, small enough for fast page loads. Because HEIC is more efficient than JPG, a 200 KB HEIC looks as good as a 300-400 KB JPG. This is useful for marketplaces, CMS platforms, and email where quality matters.

The compressor decodes the HEVC-compressed HEIC image and re-encodes it using libheif at a lower quality setting. If the output exceeds 200 KB, it reduces quality (and if necessary, dimensions) until the target is met. At 200 KB, a HEIC is typically 1200-1600px wide with quality 80-88%.

• High-quality iPhone photo upload to websites.
• Marketplace HEIC listing with 200 KB cap.
• Email attachment (high-quality photo).
• Reducing HEIC library size for backup.
• Preparing HEIC photos for portfolio display.
• High-quality web delivery for retina screens.
• Any platform with a 200 KB HEIC limit.

• 200 KB limits resolution — typically 1200-1600px wide.
• Very detailed photos may lose some fine detail.
• HDR metadata may be lost at lower quality settings.
• Not ideal for large-format print.
• For maximum quality, use the 1 MB variant.

• Windows 10/11 supports HEIC with the free HEIF Image Extensions.
• Syncs with iCloud Photos.
• Accepted by most CMS platforms (with HEIC support).
• Standard HEIC — no special software needed on Apple devices.

• 200 KB is the sweet spot for high-quality HEIC.
• HEIC's efficiency means 200 KB looks like 300-400 KB JPG.
• Resize to the target display size before uploading.
• HEIC opens natively on Apple devices.
• Batch-compress up to 50 MB of HEIC files at once.

HEIC can't reach 200 KB without quality loss

For very high-resolution originals, resizing may be needed. Use the 500 KB or 1 MB variant for maximum quality.

Compressed HEIC won't open on Android

HEIC requires third-party apps on Android. Convert to JPG for cross-platform sharing.

Photo looks slightly soft

At 200 KB, some softening is expected for detailed photos. Use the 500 KB variant for sharper results.
