Reduce Photo Size for ID Card Upload

ID card and identity verification systems often reject large image files. A smaller version of the same photo is usually enough to complete the upload.

Quick answer

To reduce photo size for an ID card upload, open the Compress Image tool, upload the image, create a smaller version, and retry the upload. If the system also requires exact dimensions, resize the image too. The work runs locally in your browser, and Confiles does not upload or store your file.
