Compress image to 300 KB
Shrink your JPG or PNG to 300 KB online — free, no signup, 100% in your browser. The target is preset to 300 KB, so just upload and download.
Where a 300 KB limit is used
A 300 KB limit is most often used for larger photos/signatures and detailed document scans. A 300 KB limit is notable because some forms allow photographs and signatures up to roughly this size — much larger than the 50 KB most forms use. It also fits detailed multi-element document scans.
Tip for hitting 300 KB cleanly
Because a 300 KB cap permits a larger photo, you can keep the quality high — compress to just under 300 KB rather than shrinking aggressively, so your face photo stays crisp.
⚠️ File-size rules vary between forms and change between exam cycles — always confirm the exact limit in the official notification before you upload.
