Compress image to 300 KB

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.
