FAQ
Will it keep the resolution I need for a passport photo?
The compressor prefers lowering JPEG quality over shrinking pixels, so dimensions are preserved whenever possible. Use the format selector if the portal requires JPG.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. All compression happens in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.
Why exactly 200 KB?
Most passport portals reject files above 200 KB; hitting the target on the first try avoids resubmission loops.
