• Court and legal filing portals
• Tender submissions and vendor paperwork

Tips for a clean 2 MB file

• •A recent phone photo can easily be 6 to 12 MB. Compressing to 2 MB removes the failure without touching visible quality.
• •For legal and tender submissions, keep both the original and the compressed file with matching names so you can prove they are the same document.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my phone photo exceed a 2 MB limit?

Modern phone cameras capture 12 to 50 megapixels, which produces files several times larger than 2 MB even at default settings.

Will a 2 MB version be accepted as the same document?

Yes. Compression changes the file size, not the content. The page reads identically to a reviewer.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

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

Common mistakes

• •Uploading a screenshot — screenshots are already compressed and often produce blocky JPEGs. Use the original photo instead.
• •Ignoring dimensions — a file can be the right KB but the wrong shape. This page sets 2000×2500 px automatically.
• •Cropping too tightly — leave a small margin around the head and shoulders so the form does not cut the face.
• •Wrong background — busy backgrounds eat KB and can get rejected. Plain white or light works best.

Troubleshooting

The result is still too big

Start with a smaller source file or crop closer to the face. If the form allows a smaller size, try 1.5 MB.

The result is too small

The source image may be very low resolution. Upload a larger original photo and retry.

My form rejected the upload

Double-check both the KB limit and the pixel dimensions in the form. Some forms also require exact aspect ratios (e.g. 3.5×4.5 cm).
