Questions people ask

Is 50 KB enough for a passport-style photo?

Yes — at typical form sizes (around 200 × 230 to 413 × 531 pixels) it looks sharp.

The portal needs between 20 and 50 KB.

Use Photo & signature for forms, which also enforces a minimum.

Can I do several at once?

Yes — drop them all.

Is Compress images on ActuallyFreeTools really free?

Yes. There is no sign-up, no daily limit, no watermark and no paid tier. Nothing is held back for paying users.
