Direct Answer
Use the Image Compressor when a website says your image file is too large or gives a maximum size in KB or MB. Select the image, lower quality or dimensions as needed, then download a smaller copy that is easier to upload.
When a Website Says Your Image Is Too Large
Upload forms often reject photos because the file size is above a limit, even when the picture looks normal on your phone. Compression reduces the file size while trying to keep the image visually usable for IDs, resumes, profiles, applications, and support forms.
- Use compression for limits written as KB or MB.
- Use JPG output for photos when you need the smallest practical file size.
- If quality reduction is not enough, reduce pixel dimensions too.
