Compress JPG to 100KB for Job Applications

Published Sep 21, 2026 · 5 min read

Most job portals require passport-size photos or documents to be under 100KB. If your photo is 2-5MB (typical from modern phones), you can't upload it without compressing first.

Here's how to compress a JPG file to under 100KB — free, without signing up.

Why 100KB?

Government job portals, online application forms, and university admission sites enforce strict file size limits — usually 20KB-100KB for photos. This is because they process thousands of applications with limited storage.
