How to use it
- Choose or drop your photo.
- The tool saves it under 100 KB at the best quality that fits.
- If the result is below 50 KB, it is raised above the minimum automatically. Then download.
Why forms ask for a range
Forms that want a more detailed photo, or a scanned certificate, often ask for 50 KB to 100 KB. The maximum keeps uploads small; the minimum stops people sending tiny, unreadable images. A file outside the range is rejected, even if it looks fine.
This page handles both ends. Large photos are compressed to under 100 KB. Small photos are saved at top quality, and if they are still under 50 KB, the tool adds padding data that image viewers ignore, so the picture is unchanged and the file meets the minimum.
Questions
Is padding the file allowed?
The padding is a standard comment block inside the JPG that every viewer skips. The photo looks exactly the same; only the byte count changes. Forms check the file size, and the padded file passes.
My photo comes out at 100 KB minus a little. Is that fine?
Yes. Anything from 50 KB up to 100 KB is inside the range. The tool aims near the top of the range because more data means a sharper photo.
Does the form count 100 KB as 100000 or 102400 bytes?
Websites differ, so the tool plays it safe: the file is kept at or below 100,000 bytes, which passes whether the form counts 1 KB as 1000 or 1024 bytes.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. The resizing runs inside your browser with JavaScript, so the image never leaves your device. Once the page has loaded, resizing keeps working even if you go offline.
