Frequently Asked Questions
How do I compress a photo to under 50 KB for government exams?
Upload your picture, select the SSC (20–50 KB) or MHT-CET preset, or drag the quality slider until the compressed file meets your portal's required threshold.
Will compressing my photo make my face blurry on the admit card?
Our engine balances JPEG quantization to reduce file size while preserving clear facial edges, eye clarity, and identity features.
Which image formats can I compress with this tool?
You can upload JPG, JPEG, and PNG images. All images are optimized and converted to standard JPEG format for maximum compatibility with government portals.
Are my private personal photos stored on your server?
Never. Compression runs entirely within your device's browser memory using standard HTML5 canvas APIs without uploading photos to any server.
