Frequently asked questions

How do I make my photo exactly under 40 KB?+

Drop it here and the tool automatically lowers quality and, if required, dimensions until the JPEG is at or below 40 KB, then shows you the final size — so the portal will accept it.

Will a 40 KB photo still be clear enough?+

For most ID-sized photos and signatures, yes. Very strict caps on large originals force more compression, so start from a sensibly-sized scan for the best clarity.

Is my document image private?+

Yes — compression is 100% local. Your signature, photo or scan is never uploaded anywhere.

What format do I get back?+

A standard JPG, which every government and exam portal accepts. You can rename it if the form asks for a specific filename.
