Getting an image under 300 KB
Many portals ask for a photo of a document, like an ID card, a utility bill or a receipt, under 300 KB. At this size a photographed page usually keeps 1600 pixels or more on its longest side, which keeps printed text readable.
We first try an optimised re-encode that leaves the pixels untouched. If that is not enough, we lower dimensions and JPEG quality together and stop at the first step that fits.
Tips
- Photograph documents flat, from straight above, in daylight. Shadows and a tilted page cost bytes and readability.
- Crop out the background around the document before uploading.
- Screenshots saved as PNG often drop far below 300 KB once converted, since PNG stores every pixel without lossy compression.
How it works
- 1
Drop your file
A PDF or an image. It goes over an encrypted connection and nowhere else.
- 2
Pick your limit
Choose the size the form asks for. We start with a cleanup that changes nothing you can see.
- 3
Download it
If it needs more, we find the gentlest quality setting that still fits, and delete everything soon after.
Questions
Is it free?
Yes. There is no sign-up and no watermark.
What happens to my file?
It is processed on our server and deleted automatically: the original 5 minutes after the run finishes, the compressed file after 10. A file you upload but never compress is deleted within 30 minutes. You can also delete everything right away with Delete now.
Will it look worse?
We try a lossless cleanup first, which does not change how the file looks. Only if that is not enough do we lower image quality, and we pick the gentlest setting that still fits your size.
What if my file cannot get that small?
You get the smallest version we could make and a clear note saying so, instead of a file that silently misses the limit.
Why does the size page aim a little under its limit?
Some sites count a kilobyte as 1000 bytes and others as 1024. We aim under the stricter one, so a 200 KB page aims for 200,000 bytes and the file passes either way.
