Thanks, Kofa.  That makes sense and confirms my suspicions.

No, since in JPEG (I guess you're referring to JPEG, but the same also
applies to PNG) you cannot set the desired output size: you set the
compression parameters, but the resulting file size also depends on
the content. This is contrary to music or video compression, where you
often set a desired bitrate (average or fixed), and the compressor
tweaks the compression parameters (e.g. quality settings) to achieve
it.
