Worked example: a 250 KB application photo
Start with the original camera file. Use the crop tool if a specific face-and-shoulders box is required, then return here with that crop. Keep JPG selected for the widest portal compatibility, compress at 250 KB, and open the download in a new tab to confirm both the file size and the face crop before uploading to the portal.
What this job is for
A portal that wants a 35 × 45 mm photo still needs the right crop and often a plain background. Compressing first and cropping later wastes quality. Crop or resize to the required pixels, then compress the cropped master to 250 KB.
Useful limits

Frequently asked questions
Is 250 KB a legal ID-photo standard?
No. It is only a file-size cap some forms publish. Follow the authority’s own size, background and recency rules.
JPG or WebP for a government form?
JPG is the usual requirement. WebP is often rejected by older upload filters.
Are photos uploaded here?
No. Processing is local. Do not email the photo to Image Cosmos.
