Three clear steps
How it works
- 1
Select a JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, or HEIF image.
- 2
Workbox searches the useful quality range before considering a smaller image size.
- 3
Download becomes available only after the final file measures 200KB or less.
Why websites require images under 200KB
Upload limits make forms faster and reduce failures on mobile networks. They are especially common on job, school, travel, and identity-related portals.
A photo can look small on screen but still contain several megabytes of data. Workbox checks the actual encoded result instead of relying on the preview.
Tips for a reliable upload
- Keep the original aspect ratio unless the form asks for a specific shape.
- For photos, JPG usually reaches 200KB with less visible loss than PNG.
- Add required pixel dimensions to the requirement box when the portal lists them.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make a photo less than 200KB?
Choose it above. Workbox adjusts encoding and, if needed, dimensions until the actual output is 200KB or less.
Can I keep a minimum photo size?
Yes. Add wording such as “minimum 295x413” and Workbox will not shrink below those required dimensions.
Does Workbox store the photo?
No. The photo is processed on your device and is not sent to Workbox.
