Frequently asked questions
How do I compress an image to under 50KB for a passport photo?
Upload your photo, enable the 'Target File Size' toggle in the controls panel, then click the Passport preset — it sets the target to 50KB automatically. The tool uses a smart compression algorithm to find the best quality that fits under that limit.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No — everything happens in your browser. Your images never leave your device. This makes it safe for sensitive documents like ID photos, passport photos, and government forms.
What is the difference between JPEG, PNG, and WebP for compression?
JPEG and WebP both support lossy compression and can reach very small file sizes. PNG is lossless and cannot be targeted to a specific file size. For passport photos and documents, JPEG is the safest choice as it is universally accepted.
Can I resize and compress at the same time?
Yes. Set your target dimensions in the Dimensions panel, choose your output format and quality, and enable Target File Size if you need to hit a specific KB limit. The tool applies all settings together when you click Process.
What is the maximum file size I can compress?
There is no server-side limit since everything runs in your browser. Very large images (50MB+) may be slow to process depending on your device's memory and CPU, but most photos and documents compress instantly.
