Hi all, I'm currently using Lightroom on an iPad. How do I reduce the JPG size on export to around 200k or less?

In the Export settings use Custom Dimensions to reduce Pixel 'Long Side' and 'Quality'-

I do not know about an iPad, but In Lightroom-desktop v5.1 there is a 'Size' preview on the bar below the image. As I change the Export settings the previewed size changes to indicate the (expected?) size of the exported file.

If your original image file has large pixel dimensions you will need to reduce 'Dimensions' considerably to go under the 200K limit. (The JPG compression simply cannot compress a large pixel count into a small file on disk)

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

Lightroom for iPad does not have an option to set the file size. The only thing you can do is export a few images at different quality settings to see which setting gets you just under 200 KB and then use this from now on.
