FAQ
Will it keep the resolution I need for a ssc 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 20 KB?
Most ssc portals reject files above 20 KB; hitting the target on the first try avoids resubmission loops.
