Tips for a clean 700 KB file

• •For evidence photographs, avoid cropping. Reviewers often want to see context around the subject, and 700 KB has room for it.
• •Note the date the photo was taken somewhere in your submission. Compression removes some camera metadata.

Frequently asked questions

Does compressing remove my photo's EXIF data?

Most of it, yes. If a claim or inspection depends on the capture date, record it separately in the form rather than relying on the file.

Is 700 KB too large for a form photo?

For a portrait field, usually yes — those normally cap under 100 KB. 700 KB is meant for document and evidence fields.

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 1400×1800 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 600 KB.

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).
