Frequently asked questions
Why 240KB specifically?
Several government upload systems cap photo files at 240KB. The oddly specific number comes from older specifications' compression-ratio math; what matters is staying at or under it.
Does this also fix my photo's dimensions?
This page only changes file size. If your form also requires exact pixel dimensions, run the photo through our resize tool first, then compress it here.
Will compression get my photo rejected for quality?
Unlikely — this tool uses the highest quality that fits 240KB, which is a generous budget for a typical photo. Faces and documents stay clearly sharp.
