The everyday limit for form uploads
50 KB is the most frequent size limit for photographs and scanned identity documents on application portals. A passport-style photo reaches it easily at full quality, and a photographed ID card or certificate stays readable as long as it was cropped to the document. Casual photos with lots of background and detail will be reduced further, but still remain usable on screen.
Lowering JPEG quality is tried first at full size; dimensions are only reduced when that is not enough. The result tells you the final size and pixel dimensions, so you can confirm both against the form.
Photos of documents
When you photograph a document rather than a face, crop to the edges of the paper and make sure the text is in focus before compressing; blur costs more at small sizes than slightly lower quality does. If the portal wants a PDF rather than an image, convert with JPG to PDF after compressing, or compress the PDF directly with the Compress PDF presets.
