To compress an image to under 200 KB, set the target to 200 KB in a size-based compressor. 200 KB leaves plenty of quality headroom, so the photo stays crisp.

Dragging a quality slider is guesswork — you export, check the size, and it's still over the limit. A size-based tool aims at the number instead, so it fits on the first try and stays as clear as the limit allows.
