Compress to the exact KB the portal wants.
Drop a photo, marksheet, or certificate and bring it under any size limit — 50, 100, 200, 500 KB — without it turning blurry. Runs entirely in your browser; your documents are never uploaded.
It is not just photos — every document has a size limit
Government application portals cap the size of every upload: the photo and signature, yes, but also your 10th and 12th marksheets, degree certificates, and caste, EWS, PwBD, or domicile certificates. Limits are commonly 100–500 KB per file. A phone photo of a marksheet is often 2–5 MB, so it has to be compressed before it will upload.
Why grayscale helps for scanned documents
For a typed marksheet or certificate, black text reads identically in grayscale and the file shrinks dramatically — often by more than half — with no loss of legibility. Turn on the grayscale option for text documents; leave it off for your colour passport photo.
Your privacy
Compression happens on your device using the HTML Canvas API. Your files are never uploaded, stored, cached, or logged. You can confirm this in your browser's DevTools → Network tab — no file transfer happens when you compress.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I compress an image to exactly 50 KB or 100 KB?
- Yes — choose a target (20, 50, 100, 200, 500 KB or 1 MB) and the tool searches for the highest JPG quality that fits just under it, so you keep as much detail as possible.
- Does it work for scanned marksheets and certificates?
- Yes. For scanned documents, the grayscale option usually cuts the file size sharply with no loss of readability — useful when a portal caps certificate uploads at a small KB limit.
- Will compressing change my image dimensions?
- Only if it has to. The tool first reduces quality alone; it steps the resolution down only when the target size cannot be reached otherwise.
- Is my image uploaded anywhere?
- No — compression runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or logged.
