How do I compress a document to 250 KB?

Upload the scan above. We resize it to 850×1100 px and compress the JPEG to just under 250 KB.

Is 250 KB enough for a readable scan?

Yes for a single flat page. Avoid shadows and keep the page square to the camera and the text stays crisp.

No. ShantiTools compresses the image entirely inside your browser — the file never leaves your device.

250 KB gives you room for a scanned document, not just a photo. Text, stamps and signatures stay readable after compression.

Choose imageJPG or PNG · Runs on your device

Upload any JPG or PNG from your phone or computer.
We fit it to 850×1100 px and tune JPEG quality until the file lands between 175 and 250 KB.
Download and upload it straight to the form.

Everything runs on your device — your image is never sent to a server.

•Scan at around 200 DPI first — printed text survives compression far better than a phone snap of the same page.
•At 250 KB the file size is rarely the blocker. If the portal still rejects it, check the pixel dimension limit.
