For government and banking exam portals (IBPS, SBI, RBI): use 70–80% quality. This typically reduces a 500KB photo to under 80KB while maintaining enough clarity for identity verification.
For email attachments: 80–85% gives a good balance of size and quality.
What quality for IBPS/SBI photo upload?
70–80%. This reduces a typical photo from 300–500KB to 30–80KB, meeting most portal requirements.
Does JPEG compression reduce quality permanently?
Yes — JPEG is lossy. Always keep your original file and compress a copy for upload.
What's the difference between compressing by quality % and by target KB? Quality percentage controls how much detail is discarded — lower quality means smaller files but more visible artifacts around sharp edges and text. Target KB mode instead lets you specify an exact file size (useful when a portal has a strict limit) and the tool adjusts quality automatically to hit that number.
Will heavy compression make my photo look blurry? At very small target sizes (like 20KB) some visible quality loss is unavoidable, particularly in busy backgrounds. Cropping to just the required photo area before compressing — rather than compressing a large uncropped image — usually preserves more visible quality at the same file size.
