Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the size targeting?

Our tool typically achieves within ±5KB of your target. For example, if you target 100KB, the result will be 95-105KB in most cases. This is usually well within the acceptable range for government forms.

Can I compress to less than 20KB?

Yes, but extreme compression (below 20KB for photos) may result in noticeable quality loss. For signatures and simple graphics, this is often acceptable.

Will my photo be rejected after compression?

If your image was clear before compression and you choose an appropriate target size (not too low), the compressed version should be accepted. Always check your application's specific quality requirements.

Does the tool maintain image dimensions?

Yes, this tool focuses on file size reduction through quality adjustment, not dimension changes. Use our Image Resizer for dimension changes.

Why does the same target size give different results for different images?

Compression effectiveness depends on the image content. Photos with complex details compress less efficiently than simple graphics. Our tool adapts to each image to get as close to target as possible.

Is JPG or PNG better for government forms?

JPG is almost always required for photos due to better compression and universal compatibility. PNG is sometimes accepted for signatures. Check your specific form's requirements.

How do I know if my image is the right size after compressing?

After downloading, right-click the file → Properties (Windows) or Get Info (Mac) to verify the size. Most government portals also show the size limit before upload.
