Your files stay on this device. Nothing is uploaded.
Exam application photos are often capped between 20 KB and 50 KB. A phone photo is 100 times larger; this preset scales it down and re-encodes it until it fits, without uploading it anywhere.
How it works
- Drop one or many JPG files.
- Pick a quality, or switch to "target size" and type the maximum size you need.
- Compress and download; the list shows how much each file shrank.
This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded, so there is no size limit and it works offline once loaded.
Common situations
Frequently asked questions
Will the photo still be accepted?
At 50 KB a face photo of about 400×500 pixels stays sharp enough for forms. Check the portal's required pixel size as well, and use the resize tool if it asks for exact dimensions.
Is it really free and private?
Yes. Everything runs in your browser with open-source code; nothing is uploaded. No account, no watermark, no file-size limit other than your device's memory.
How much can I compress without noticing?
For photos, quality 80 is invisible on screens and about 60% smaller than a camera JPG. Quality 60 shows slight softness in fine textures and is fine for web pages and messaging.
Does it remove EXIF data like location?
Yes. The output is re-encoded from pixels, so camera metadata including GPS position is not carried over. That is usually what you want before sharing.
