Compress Image to 90 KB
Ninety kilobytes is the largest round target that still slips under a 100 KB limit however the form counts. Use it when you want the most detail a 100 KB upload allows, without the risk of a borderline file being rejected.

Files are processed on our servers and deleted after 30 minutes.
Never shrink below this width when downscaling. 0 means no minimum.
Optionally set the dimensions before compressing. Forms that specify pixels as well as KB need both.
Pixels for the side you chose above.
The search for the target size will not go below this quality; it downscales instead.
4:2:0 halves color resolution and saves a lot on photos; 4:4:4 keeps sharp edges on text, logos and screenshots.
Lossy PNG quantises colors (like TinyPNG) and is far smaller; lossless keeps every pixel.

90 KB is 92,160 bytes: under a 100 KB limit whether the server counts 1,000 or 1,024 bytes per kilobyte, yet only 10% below it, so the photo keeps almost every detail the cap permits.
Who needs a 90 KB photo
In Bangladesh, most government job applications go through Teletalk's online system, from ministry and directorate circulars to the Bangladesh Public Service Commission. The photo there has a 100 KB ceiling at 300 × 300 px, and applicants often fill the form on a phone with a camera photo of several megabytes. Compressing straight to 90 KB, with the width set to 300 px, produces a file that passes on the first try.
The same 100 KB ceiling shows up on Indian state recruitment boards, university admission and scholarship forms, and on employee profile pages of HR systems. When you want the clearest image those forms allow, 90 KB is the target. If you would rather sit mid-range, compress image to 80 KB leaves extra headroom.

Image quality at 90 KB
For a form photo, 90 KB is a lot of room. A 300 × 300 px portrait has 90,000 pixels, so the budget is roughly 8 bits per pixel, the territory where JPEG artifacts are invisible. Even a 1000 × 1000 px image gets about 0.7 bits per pixel, which still looks clean on a face.
Trouble starts only with large originals. A 12-megapixel phone photo at 90 KB has to lose most of its pixels or most of its quality. With Allow downscaling on, the tool chooses pixels and keeps quality at or above the Lowest quality allowed. Setting the width yourself under Resize first gives you control over which size it lands on.
90 KB photo questions
Why not compress to exactly 100 KB for a 100 KB limit?
Because 100 KB can mean 100,000 or 102,400 bytes, and some forms reject a file that equals the limit rather than falling below it. At 90 KB, which is 92,160 bytes, the file is under the cap by any definition, and the quality you give up is too small to see.
What are the Teletalk photo and signature rules?
Government job circulars processed through Teletalk's portal have asked for a 300 × 300 px color photo of up to 100 KB and a 300 × 80 px signature of up to 60 KB, both as JPG. Read the circular you apply under, since a few departments add their own rules.
Can I use this page for the signature as well?
Not with a 60 KB signature limit, because 90 KB would be too big. Change Target size to 50 for the signature, or use compress image to 50 KB. A cropped signature reaches that easily.
Does a square 300 × 300 photo need the full 90 KB?
No. A 300 × 300 px JPG at high quality is often 40–70 KB, so the result may come out smaller than 90 KB with no loss at all. The target is a ceiling, and the tool never inflates a file to reach it.
My photo was taken on an iPhone. Will the form accept it?
iPhones save photos as HEIC by default, which most application forms reject. With Output format on JPG the file is converted while it is compressed. The HEIC to JPG guide explains how to change the camera setting too.
