The Problem: Many online application forms (for exams, jobs, or visas) have a strict limit: "Image size must be under 100KB" (or sometimes between 50KB and 100KB). If your phone photo is 2MB, it will be rejected.
Reducing a high-quality photo to 100KB without making it blurry can be tricky. If you compress it too much, faces become unrecognizable. If you don't compress it enough, the form rejects it.
100KB is a "sweet spot" for many government and official portals. It allows for enough detail to verify your identity (unlike 20KB images which can be pixelated) but is still small enough to not overload their servers.
Instead of guessing with "70% quality" or "Medium quality," you should use a tool that lets you specify the exact file size you need.
Use our free tool EasyImageCR.in. It works locally in your browser for maximum privacy.
If you need a different size (like 50KB), just change the number in the "Target Size" box. It's that easy.
