Frequently Asked Questions

Why do portals require images under 500kb? ▼

Most online submission databases and visa systems process millions of applications daily. Enforcing a strict 500kb limit prevents server storage overload, reduces system bandwidth usage, and ensures form pages load quickly for administrative reviewers.

Will my compressed signature or passport photo remain readable? ▼

Yes! Our compression engine utilizes advanced chroma subsampling and sharp-edge preservation techniques. This ensures that fine details, ink lines, signatures, and biometric facial details remain clear and highly legible even at extremely small file sizes.

Is it safe to compress confidential IDs or signature scans here? ▼

Absolutely. Because our tool runs 100% locally in your browser, your documents are never transmitted across the network or saved in the cloud. It is the safest way to optimize sensitive identity documents without risking personal data leaks.
