Practical explanation
JPG to 200KB files can be too large for upload, email, or web publishing.
A 200KB JPG target usually allows better facial, product, or document detail than 100KB.
Use compression for smaller byte size, resizing for fewer pixels, and conversion when the current format is not right for the destination. Very small targets can require visible tradeoffs, so compare the preview before downloading.
