Photos for forms with a KB limit
Job portals, visa and passport applications, school enrollment and exam registrations often require photos under 100KB or 200KB. Choose the size and the tool finds the best quality that fits.
PNG got bigger or looks off?
Screenshots and logos in PNG can end up with washed-out colors when saved as JPG. For those, choose the WebP option instead.
