Color Profiles and sRGB for Insurance Claims
Colours that look vivid on your camera can look dull after upload if profiles are mishandled. Claim portals ask for photo evidence, and several clear, compact images upload more reliably than a few huge ones.
Recommended settings for insurance claims
| Setting | Starting point |
|---|---|
| Format | JPEG (WebP where accepted) |
| Width | about 1600 px on the long edge |
| Quality | 78 |
| File size | 300 KB or less |
These are practical defaults. If the platform or form you are using publishes its own limits, follow those instead.
Color Profiles and sRGB
Most screens and browsers assume sRGB. Photos in wider profiles may shift when the profile is dropped during upload.
Browser-based compression outputs standard sRGB pixels, which is what insurance claims expects. If colours change dramatically, export from your editor in sRGB before compressing.

FAQ

How do I compress many images for e-learning courses at once?
Drop all of them into the tool together and use Download all to get a single ZIP.
What JPEG quality should I use for e-learning courses?
Quality around 78 keeps photos looking natural while cutting file size substantially.
Wrapping up
