Make your photos fit.

Compress a photo for an online form

"File too large" is the most common upload error. This page gets your photo under 100 KB by default. Change the limit to match your form.

Format

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

How it works

School applications, visa and permit forms, bank KYC and rental applications all tend to cap uploads, often at 100 KB, 200 KB or 500 KB. Check the limit written next to the upload button and set it here.

The tool gives you the best quality that fits, removes location data, and never uploads your photo, so it's safe for ID photos and documents.

Questions

The form also needs a specific size in pixels.

Set the longest side under Size. For an exact width and height, crop to the right shape first.

The form still says my file is too large.

Some forms count file sizes slightly differently. Set a little lower than the limit, for example 90 KB for a 100 KB limit, and try again.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes. Open this page in your phone's browser, choose the photo, then download and upload it to the form.
