Compressing Product Photos for Visa Application Forms
Product photos must look accurate because people judge the item by them. Visa portals commonly list strict size and dimension rules for photos and scans, so check the exact numbers on the form you are using.
Recommended settings for visa application forms
| Setting | Starting point |
|---|---|
| Format | JPEG (WebP where accepted) |
| Width | about 600 px on the long edge |
| Quality | 70 |
| File size | 100 KB or less |
These are practical defaults. If the platform or form you are using publishes its own limits, follow those instead.
Compressing Product Photos
Shoot on a clean background, crop tightly, and resize to about 600 pixels. Clean backgrounds compress extremely well.
Check colour and texture after compressing. For visa application forms, a slightly larger file that shows the product clearly beats a tiny one that hides detail.
