Frequently asked questions
How do I compress a photo under 50 KB?
Choose a preset (under 20, 50, or 100 KB) or type a custom target. The engine iterates resolution and quality locally until the file lands under the limit, then shows the exact final size.
Which image formats are supported?
PNG, JPG/JPEG, and WebP in and out, including passport photos, signatures, and scanned documents.
Can I crop to passport dimensions?
Yes. Pick a standard passport/signature aspect ratio and position the crop before compressing, so the result matches strict portal requirements.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Resizing, cropping, and compression all use the HTML5 canvas on your device; images never leave the browser.
