Common questions
Does compressing to 100 KB affect a passport photo's validity?
The pixels are re-encoded, so fine detail softens slightly, but the framing, dimensions and colour are unchanged. Most application portals set the limit because of their own storage, not because the photo needs to be pristine.
How do I compress an image to 100 KB?
Add your image to the tool on this page. It is already set to a 100 KB target, so it will search for the highest quality that lands under that size and show you the result next to the original. Then download it.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The work happens in your browser using image APIs it already ships with, so the file never leaves your device. There is no upload to wait for and nothing stored on a server afterwards.
