How it works

Choose your photo. It opens on your own device and is not sent anywhere.
The tool finds the best JPG quality that stays under 100KB, and only shrinks the pixel size if quality alone is not enough.
If your form asks for exact pixels or a minimum size, open "More options". The photo is cropped from the centre to match the pixel size.

Tips for a 100KB limit

At this limit most pictures show no visible loss, and the pixel size is normally kept unless the original is a multi-megabyte camera photo. It also suits a document photographed as an image, as long as the text is not very small.

What fits in 100KB

A rough guide to the largest pixel size a photo can keep at 100KB. Plain backgrounds fit more pixels than busy ones. If yours is larger, the tool lowers the pixel size so it stays clean instead of turning blocky.

Quality	Largest size
Sharp, holds up when zoomed in	510 × 680 px
Clear, fine for most forms	620 × 830 px
Acceptable when shown small	880 × 1170 px

Getting a clear photo at a small size

Start from a sharp, well-lit picture against a plain background, and crop close to the head and shoulders before resizing. Less background means more of the allowed size is spent on your face.

Questions

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. All the work happens inside your browser. The file never leaves your phone or computer.

Will text in a photographed document stay readable?

Normal-sized text usually does at this limit. Fill the frame with the document and photograph it in good light, because blur and shadows cost far more readability than the compression does.

What format is the result?

JPG (also written JPEG), which is what almost every application form accepts. PNG and WebP pictures are converted for you.

Will the photo look blurry?

The tool keeps the highest quality that fits under your limit. A very small limit on a large, detailed picture will lose some sharpness.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. It works in the browser on Android and iPhone, with nothing to install.
