Resize photo to 240 KB: compress it free on your phone

Compress a photo to under 240 KB

Online forms reject a file that is even 1 KB over the limit. Picproved's free Resize a photo tool fits any photo or scan to the pixels and KB you type, on your device. If your form is listed below, open its page instead: Picproved saves it at the right size and inside the limit.

Tips

Crop first, then compress: fewer pixels need less squeezing, so the face stays sharp.

Save as JPEG. PNG files are much bigger.

Some forms also set a minimum, like 10 KB. Picproved pads the file to reach it without changing the image.

Limits come from each form's official notice where one exists; sources marked "not official" are the best we found where none does. Last checked October 2026.
