Free, browser-based, no upload required
Reduce your profile photo for job portals, HR systems and CV submissions. Most job application platforms require photos under 100KB in JPEG format. This tool compresses to 96KB by default, giving a safe margin to pass portal limits without over-compressing.

Photo size limits appear across the full range of job application platforms, from enterprise HR systems to government recruitment portals. The limit is enforced automatically at upload, so your photo must meet the requirement before you can proceed with the application.
Workday and SAP SuccessFactors
Enterprise HR platforms used by multinational companies typically cap profile photos at 100KB. Applications are rejected or photos silently dropped if the limit is exceeded.
Government job portals
Civil service recruitment portals in many countries enforce strict photo size limits, often between 50KB and 100KB, alongside dimension requirements.
LinkedIn profile photo
LinkedIn recommends photos under 8MB but applies aggressive automatic compression to large uploads. Pre-compressing to under 100KB gives you more control over the final appearance.
CV and resume email attachments
When submitting a CV with a photo by email, keeping the photo under 100KB ensures the total email size stays manageable and the attachment is not blocked by corporate mail filters.
HR systems process large numbers of applications and store applicant photos in databases alongside CVs and assessment data. A 100KB ceiling keeps storage predictable, ensures applicant profile pages load quickly for recruiters reviewing applications, and prevents the system from rejecting uploads from applicants with large camera files.
Yes. A professional headshot compressed to 96KB is visually identical to the original at the sizes job portals display it. Recruiters view profile photos as small thumbnails inside application management dashboards, so the difference between the original and compressed version is imperceptible.
JPEG. All HR platforms including Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Taleo, Lever and regional job boards accept JPEG without exception. Some may also accept PNG but JPEG is universally safe.
Yes. PNG is supported as input. The tool decodes your PNG in the browser and re-encodes it as JPEG. PNG files are typically much larger than equivalent JPEGs, so a cropped PNG headshot of several MB will compress to well under 100KB with no visible difference.
No. All compression runs in your browser using WebAssembly. Your photo never leaves your device. This matters for job application photos, which are personal and private.
