How to Reduce Image Size Below 100KB

Many forms require images under 100KB. That is where people usually struggle, especially when the original file comes straight from a phone or camera.

Why 100KB?

• Government forms
• Job applications
• Online portals with file size limits

Steps

1. Upload image
2. Adjust compression
3. Check size
4. Repeat if needed

Important

Do not reduce too much at once. Do it gradually so you do not destroy quality in a single aggressive step.

Tip

Use JPG and reduce dimensions as well if the file is still too large. The combination of smaller dimensions and balanced compression usually helps a lot.

Final

With a little trial, you can usually reach under 100KB without making the image unusable. Small adjustments work better than one extreme change.
