Questions

How does the target size work?

Readily tries many quality levels and keeps the best-looking one that stays under your limit. If quality alone isn't enough, it also reduces the dimensions slightly. The result shows the exact final size so you can check it before downloading.

Why did my PNG come out as a JPG or WebP?

PNG files can't be shrunk much without changing format. To reach a small target size, Readily saves them as JPG (or WebP if you choose it). Transparent areas become white in JPG.

What size should I use for application forms?

Check the form's instructions. Common limits are 50 KB to 300 KB for photos and signatures and 1 to 2 MB for documents. Pick a target slightly below the limit to be safe.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Compression runs in your browser on your device.
