Frequently asked questions
Why do other tools make my photo blurry at this size?
Most reach a small file by dropping JPEG quality until the image falls apart. This one reduces resolution in gradual steps, restores edge definition afterwards, and searches for the highest quality that still fits the limit — so it keeps far more detail at the same file size.
Does this tool upload my photo anywhere?
No. Cropping, resizing and compression all run inside your browser using the Canvas API. The image never leaves your device — you can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool still works.
Need your signature too?
Most portals ask for a signature in the same session, with a different size limit from the photograph.
