Compress Photo for Passport Application

Passport and ID application systems often use strict limits for photo uploads. The safest approach is to reduce the file size while keeping the image clear enough for review.

Quick answer

To compress a photo for a passport application, open the Compress Image tool, upload the photo, create a smaller version, and check the file size before uploading it. If the system is still strict, resize the image to the required dimensions too. The work runs locally in your browser, and Confiles does not upload or store your file.
