Make your photos fit.

Compress a photo for a job application

Job portals often reject photos and scanned documents that are too big. This page makes them fit, set to under 200 KB.

Photos are never enlarged.

Format

JPG works everywhere. WebP is smaller. PNG keeps transparency but is large. iPhone HEIC photos are saved as JPG.

How it works

Many applicant tracking systems and government job portals limit photo and document uploads, commonly to 100–500 KB. This page is set to under 200 KB, which fits most of them while keeping a clear image.

If the portal states a different limit, click another size, such as 100 KB, or type the exact number. Your photos never leave your device, which matters for ID documents.

Questions

The portal wants a JPG, but I have HEIC from my iPhone.

That's fine. HEIC photos are converted to JPG automatically.

Can I compress a scanned certificate?

Yes, if it's an image (JPG or PNG). For PDF files you'll need a PDF compressor.

What if the portal says "minimum 50 KB"?

Results aim just under your limit, so they're usually well above 50 KB. If one comes out too small, switch to "By quality" and raise it.
