Reduce Photo Size for Passport Upload

Some passport and visa websites set a maximum file size for photos. Type the limit your site shows, drop your photo, and download a JPG at or under it. The photo never leaves your device.

Drop images here or click to choose JPG, PNG or WebP. You can add up to 20 at once.

Output is always a JPG, and transparent areas turn white. The result is at or under your KB limit, but it is not guaranteed to meet a minimum size. If the form needs a minimum too, check the result before you upload. Need PNG or a transparent background? This tool is not the right fit.

The form also asks for pixel dimensions

Nothing is uploaded. Your images are compressed on this device.

Find your site's limit first

There is no single rule: the maximum file size, the pixel dimensions and the accepted formats are set by each country's passport or visa service, and they change over time. Read the upload instructions on the official page you are using, then enter that number in the box above. The preset of 200 KB is only a starting point. We do not check your photo against any government photo requirements, and this site is not affiliated with any government agency.

Steps

  1. Enter the maximum file size from the application page.
  2. If the page also lists pixel dimensions, open The form also asks for pixel dimensions and enter the maximum width and height. The image keeps its proportions and is fitted inside that box; it is never enlarged or cropped.
  3. Add your photo and click the thumbnail to check the result at full size.
  4. Download the JPG and upload it to the application.

What this tool cannot do

  • It does not crop or reposition your face. If the head size, background colour or framing rules are the problem, fix the photo before you compress it.
  • Exact pixel sizes: because proportions are kept, the result may be smaller than the numbers you typed. If the site demands exact dimensions, check the size shown in the result and adjust the picture elsewhere.
  • Minimum sizes: only an upper limit is enforced. If the site also asks for a minimum, check the result.
  • Format: the output is always JPG. If the site needs PNG or PDF, this tool is not the right fit.

Tips

  • Use the original photo rather than a copy that was already compressed or sent through a chat app; re-compressing a compressed file loses more detail.
  • Plain, evenly lit backgrounds compress better and look cleaner at small sizes.
  • Photos of ID documents are sensitive. Everything runs in your browser, so your photo is not uploaded to our servers or any third party, and closing the page discards it.
