What 100 KB is good for

Portals that ask for 100 KB are usually asking for more than a face: a CNIC, a domicile, a fee receipt or a certificate photographed with a phone. For that reason the tool on this page starts with “Full image” selected, which keeps the whole picture and reduces it to about 1,200 pixels on its longer side.

If you are uploading a photograph of yourself, choose “Passport photo” instead. A passport photo needs far less than 100 KB, so the file will be well under the limit.

Keeping a document readable

Photograph the page flat, in daylight, with the phone held directly above it, and crop the photo to the edges of the page. Empty table around the page uses up file size that should go to the text.

After downloading, open the file and zoom in on the smallest text. If you can read it, so can the person who checks your application.

Questions

How do I compress an image to 100 KB?
Choose the picture in the tool on this page and download the result. It is saved as a JPG under 100 KB.
Is 100 KB enough for a CNIC or a certificate?
Yes, if the photo is cropped to the card or the page. Text stays readable at this size.
My form wants a PDF under 100 KB, not a picture. What should I do?
Use the Compress PDF tool on this site. It takes a PDF, or photos of the pages, and gives you a PDF under the limit you choose.
