How to Compress Images for University Admission Portals on Android
Android phones can compress images right in the browser. Admission systems handle thousands of uploads and often set modest file limits for photos and supporting scans.
Recommended settings for university admission 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.
