How to Compress Images for Job Portals on Android
Android phones can compress images right in the browser. Recruitment sites usually limit photo and document sizes to keep their systems fast.
Recommended settings for job portals
| Setting | Starting point |
|---|---|
| Format | JPEG (WebP where accepted) |
| Width | about 800 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.
How to Compress Images
Open Chrome, load TheCompressJPEG, and tap the file picker to choose images from your gallery or file manager.
Pick a maximum width of 800 pixels or a target of 100 KB, then tap Compress and Download. The files land in your Downloads folder, ready for job portals.
Step by step with TheCompressJPEG

Quick tips
- Write a size limit slightly below the stated maximum to leave a margin.
- Process private images locally rather than uploading them to unknown servers.
- Crop out distractions so pixels go to the subject.
