FAQ
Is it safe to compress my passport scan here?
Yes. The image is processed by your own browser and never sent anywhere, which matters for documents such as passports and ID cards.
Will the machine-readable lines on my passport stay readable?
At 200KB, a passport data page scanned at a normal size keeps the text and the two lines at the bottom sharp. Check the preview before uploading.
My visa photo must be 600×600 pixels and under 240KB. What should I do?
Set the exact size first with the Resize Image tool, then compress here. A 600×600 photo usually ends up well under 200KB.
Should I keep the original dimensions?
For document scans, turning on “Keep original dimensions” keeps fine text crisp. The tool only lowers quality, and tells you if 200KB cannot be reached that way.
