Balancing size and clarity
Passport photos are judged on clarity, since they're used for identification. The compressor uses the highest quality setting that fits your target, so features stay as recognizable as possible even under a strict 50 KB limit.
Before you compress
Make sure your photo already meets your destination's dimension requirements using the Passport Photo Resizer — compress after resizing, not before, for the most predictable result.
Tips for the best result
- Resize to the correct pixel dimensions first, then compress to the file size limit.
- Use a high-resolution, well-lit original for the clearest result at 50 KB.
