Image workflow

Compress an image for an upload form

Application portals and CMS fields often enforce both dimension and file-size caps. This workflow hits KB targets, adjusts dimensions, and converts to an accepted format so the upload succeeds the first time.

When to use this workflow

  • A form rejects images over 100KB or 200KB.
  • You need a smaller JPG/PNG/WebP without opening Photoshop.
  • Passport or ID flows need both size and dimension constraints.

Tips

Tips for better results

  • Resize dimensions before aggressive quality compression when possible.
  • If the portal wants a specific type, convert after sizing.
  • For passport photos, use the passport workflow for country rules first.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why is my image still too large?

Very large pixel dimensions need resizing first. Drop width/height, then recompress.

Will compression blur faces?

Heavy JPEG compression can. Use the highest KB limit allowed and avoid repeated re-encodes.
