Reduce file size, keep quality

Compress a passport photo to the right file size

Government passport, visa, and ID photo upload portals are notoriously picky about file size. Indian passport applications cap at 240 KB, US visa applications at 240 KB, UK at 1 MB. Compressing to the exact range these systems require is often the last step before submission.

Frequently asked questions

My passport photo is too small after compression — does that matter?

Most government systems specify a minimum and maximum size. If your compressed file is below the minimum (e.g., 20 KB), upload may be rejected. Aim for the middle of the allowed range — for India's 20–240 KB range, 100–200 KB is safe.

Will compression change my photo dimensions?

Compression alone preserves pixel dimensions; it just reduces file size by reducing image quality. If your photo also needs to be a specific size in pixels (e.g., 350 × 350), use the resize tool first, then compress.

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. Compression runs entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device.

What format should I use?

JPG for photos (smallest files for natural images). PNG for screenshots, logos, or graphics with transparency. WebP if the destination accepts it (smallest files overall).
