Frequently asked questions
Why do application forms reject my photo?
Most portals check the file size in KB, the pixel dimensions and sometimes the format. This tool lets you match all three: set the maximum (and minimum) KB, the exact width and height, and you always get a JPG.
Will the photo lose quality?
We keep the highest quality that fits under your limit. Very small limits like 10 KB need lower quality or smaller dimensions, but faces and signatures stay clear at the sizes portals ask for.
Is 1 KB 1,000 or 1,024 bytes?
We use 1 KB = 1,024 bytes, which is what Windows and most upload forms check, so a file under “20 KB” here is also under 20 KB there.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser.
