How to Compress Images Without Destroying Readability

Compression trades file size against visual quality. Reduce quality gradually, inspect the result and use the exact size requirement of the destination instead of assuming one universal KB limit.

Step-by-step workflow

  1. 1

    Check the destination limit

    Write down the required file size, dimensions and format before editing.

  2. 2

    Add the image

    Upload one image or use the bulk workflow for multiple supported images.

  3. 3

    Start with moderate quality

    Avoid jumping straight to the lowest quality setting.

  4. 4

    Compare the result

    Check the new file size and zoom in on faces, text or signatures.

  5. 5

    Download only when readable

    If the image is too soft, increase quality or adjust dimensions only when allowed.

Portal limits are not universal

Government, exam and recruitment portals can use different KB ranges, dimensions and formats. Follow the exact instructions shown by the portal you are submitting to.
