How to Compress a Photo Under a Specific KB Limit on Android
How to get a photo below a strict KB limit Many government portals, job forms, school applications, and support websites reject an otherwise valid photo because it is larger than a fixed limit such as 100 KB or 200 KB. Standard gallery apps usually offer cropping or a quality percentage, but they do not tell you whether the final file will meet a specific upload limit. That is the problem I built FormFit to solve on Android. Why exact-KB compression is tricky File size depends on more than width and height.

Optionally resize the image dimensions or choose JPG, PNG, or WebP for the generated copy. Run the compression, review the result, and save or share the new file. The original photo is not replaced. FormFit creates a separate output copy, so you can compare the result before uploading it. Remove metadata from generated copies Photos can contain metadata such as device or capture information. When you only need to submit the visible image, FormFit can remove metadata from the generated copy. This does not change the original file. Turn several photos into one PDF Some forms ask for a single PDF instead of multiple image files. FormFit can combine up to 20 selected photos into one PDF directly on the phone. This is useful for receipts, scanned notes, application documents, and other small document sets. On-device processing The selected photos and PDFs are processed on the Android device.
